Girard Ticket Recipients Issued Checks

Girard Traffic Camera Checks


Girard Mayor James Melfi If you paid a speeding ticket issued by Girard's traffic camera and took part in the class action lawsuit, you may soon be getting a check.

Atty. Jim Denney of Girard, who filed the class action lawsuit, said those who paid tickets will receive a check for 15 percent of what they paid, which in most cases is about $12.

Girard Mayor Jim Melfi said he received his check a few days ago. The mayor's daughter was issued a ticket in 2005, he said.

Girard quit using the camera in 2006 after a Trumbull County Common Pleas judge ruled its use was unconstitutional.

Girard Speed Camera
written by Kip , August 14, 2010

I paid eighty-five dollars and I admit I was speeding ... The action of the City of Girard was ruled illegal and I received a check from the City of Girard for twelve-dollars and seventy-five cents. Ok, so I'm guilty but so is the City of Girard for not being able to do the math ! What happened to the other seventy-two dollars and twenty-five cents ? I know it's chump change but remember, it's the thought that counts when someone is sticking it in and twist'n at the same time. Geee, wonder whatever happened to that camera anyway, for seventy-five dollars and twenty-five cents I'll give you a hint
