The Missouri Court of Appeals has recently struck down an ordinance in Saint Louis allowing drivers to be given tickets using a red light camera. The Court stated that the city must give notice of the charge and of the driver’s rights in order to be adequate. Drivers who receive the ticket from a red light camera must be given the ability to challenge their violation through legal proceedings and cannot be forced into paying the fine without due process.
