In Miami-Dade, a new automated traffic violation system implemented by the school district has led to widespread injustices, with innocent drivers receiving exorbitant fines. The camera-equipped school buses, intended to catch violators, result in thousands of wrongful notices daily, totaling over $19.5 million in just six months. Investigative reporting reveals significant flaws in the review process, as many genuine infractions are misidentified, leading to financial burdens for innocent citizens. Contesting these violations remains an uphill battle, with no hearings scheduled as of January, exacerbating frustration among affected motorists.
A joint investigation found that many motorists who did nothing wrong are receiving violation notices, raising concerns about the integrity of the automated traffic violation system.
As a family with a 10-month-old baby and a single income, it was a hard blow for the holidays, highlighting the financial strain of unjust traffic fines.
