FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
[Miami, FL] – [1/29/25] – The Ticket Clinic, a law firm dedicated to fighting traffic tickets, has successfully won the first legal challenges to Florida’s controversial school zone camera ticketing system. These cases, dismissed in court, highlight the serious flaws plaguing the automated enforcement program, which has been mistakenly issuing citations based on weak or misleading evidence.
“This is a clear victory for drivers who have been unfairly ticketed by an error-ridden system,” said Mark Gold, founder of The Ticket Clinic. “These cameras are issuing citations based on footage that is often unclear, misinterpreted, or outright inaccurate. People are getting fined when they weren’t even breaking the law. Private companies should not be profiting like this off of public safety.”
The school zone camera program, meant to catch drivers illegally speeding has been aggressively rolled out in Miami and other counties across Florida during the 2024-2025 school year. However, these first legal challenges have revealed glaring issues, including:
- Unclear or misleading footage: Many tickets are issued based on grainy, obstructed, or inconclusive video evidence.
- No human verification: Tickets are often generated automatically without proper human oversight.
- Ticketing innocent drivers: Some citations have been sent to vehicle owners who were not driving at the time or were legally passing in separate lanes.
- Lack of proper legal framework: Many of these tickets are issued outside standard traffic enforcement laws, raising constitutional concerns.
With the first dismissals now in the books, The Ticket Clinic hopes to explore many other defenses they have prepared to fight these unjust citations. These school zone cameras have a long way to go before they can be considered a fair and reliable tool for traffic enforcement. Right now, they’re issuing fines left and right without the proper safeguards in place.
The Ticket Clinic urges Florida drivers who have received a school zone camera ticket to question it rather than assume it’s valid. With more cases being fought in court, attorneys anticipate further dismissals and legal scrutiny that could encourage officials to rethink how traffic laws are enforced.
