Red-Light Cameras Lawsuit Moves Forward

Lawyers moved one step closer Thursday to determining if a red-light camera lawsuit filed in 2009 will be certified as a class action suit.

In a status hearing Thursday afternoon, lawyers and Circuit Judge Michael Raiden discussed how they think the case should proceed in the coming months.

Once the lawyers in the case file additional documents with the court, Raiden will rule in what order the case will progress.

The case, which argues Lakeland's red-light camera program was illegal, is being handled by Lake Wales lawyer Bob Young. Mark Miller is defending the city.

The case only argues the time when the cameras were operated under Lakeland's city ordinance, which ended June 30, 2010 when the state's law took effect.
