Red Light Ticket Refunds Coming
TAMPA - Beginning Monday, about $47,000 in refunds will be sent to motorists who were overcharged for red light tickets.
If you were issued a red light ticket before Oct. 1 in Hillsborough County and paid it after that date, your name might be on the list of about 720 motorists to receive $65 partial refunds, officials said Friday. This is the first wave of refunds from the Hillsborough County Clerk of Circuit Court's Office since an investigation by The Tampa Tribune found that the office was using an unfair and perhaps unconstitutional collection policy that set the cost of fines based on the day people paid rather than when the violation occurred.
A Tribune survey found that only two of Florida's 67 counties - Hillsborough and Monroe - used this approach. The policy was based on a misinterpretation of a Florida Constitution change last year."
