Baltimore must return $2.8mn after audit finds faulty speed cameras

“A secret audit conducted for the City of Baltimore found that local speed cameras had alarmingly high error rates, resulting in thousands of traffic tickets being issued that never should have been.  The audit obtained by the Baltimore Sun covers the year 2012, when the city issued 700,000 speeding tickets, each costing recipients $40. The URS consulting group found that the city’s cameras had an error rate higher than 10 percent, meaning that 70,000 tickets worth $2.8 million could’ve been incorrectly issued to local drivers.  These numbers are much higher than the city’s original claim of ‘less than a quarter of one percent.’ Baltimore officials have refused to make the details public.”
