According to NWWatchdog.org several oregon cities have been just ignoring Oregon’s red-light camera laws. Why is it that the laws only apply to the citizens and not to the municipalities that are generating revenue from the laws?
Municipalities that run photo enforcement programs are required by ORS to report by March 1st on odd numbered years. “(5) The department shall report to the Legislative Assembly by March 1 of each odd-numbered year.” According to NWWatchdog.org the city of Medford hasn’t filed the necessary reports to the State. It was originally reported that Newberg hadn’t filed either, but apparently have now filed the reports and are working on their 2013 report.
For the Medford residents that want to fight your red-light tickets, present to the Judge that the city isn’t complying with State Law.
