Willoughby Hills, an Ohio town that charged drivers a fee to contest traffic fines, has just learned that other people won't put up with unconstitutional civil rights trampling, employed while taking advantage of being able to give speeding tickets to the drivers on the interstate that runs through town, in a 60 mph zone.

Willoughby Hills boldly carried on a policy in which drivers wishing to fight a traffic camera fine had to hand over a $25 ‘filing fee’ simply to log an appeal.

“The Constitution protects the right to due process of law before citizens are deprived of their property, including money,” said attorney Bobbi Taylor, who represented the group. “Forcing someone to pay a fee to prove their innocence goes against this principle,”

the police chief of Willoughby Hills Police Department claims the fee came from the municipal court rather than the city, and staunchly denied the scheme incentivized officers to pump out traffic violation tickets.

It's all about fund raising, and when it's taking place on the interstate, it's to get the money from out of towners. 4 Million dollars in one year.
