“The expected amount left over for affected motorists is just $6” and if motorists don’t file a claim, reversions go to defendant American Traffic Solutions (ATS). “More than 81,000 citations worth $10.2 million were issued in New Jersey through red light camera programs that were not in compliance with state law.” Lawyers who filed the suit are in line to collect $800,000.

This is a case where coupons make sense.
“…here you go Officer, one Get Out of Jail Free Card. I’ll be on my way…”
@Nevins–
Brilliant!
The numbers don’t add up. The settlement is $4.2 million. 800k goes to the lawyers, 18k to the class representatives. That leaves just under $3.4 million for the remaining members of the class and for the cost of mailing out the postcards. For only $6 to be available to the residual class members, mailing the post cards would have to cost almost $3.4 million. Does it really cost just under $42 per citation to mail out postcards?
Throw the ticket in the trash. Thats what I do. And spray paint the scamera lens.
