A village of just over 2,000 people in Ohio have been ordered to pay back speed camera fines of $3million. Nearly 45,000 drivers were ticketed in just 15 months.
Following appeals and disputes involving a class action lawsuit, a judge has ruled that the cameras in New Miami were unconstitutional and constituted "unjust enrichment".
The judge commented: "This court has already found council ordinance 1917, as adopted by the village of New Miami, to be unconstitutional. Accordingly, any collection or retention of the monies collected under the ordinance, was wrongful."
He added: "This action sub justice is not a civil suit for money damages, but rather an action to correct the unjust enrichment of the village of New Miami."
The village is likely to appeal again, but if they lose, they will have ten years to pay the money back.
