Illinois Appellate Court
Civil Court
Traffic Laws
Plaintiff sued Village after she was fined $100 for running run light; Village had used automated cameras at intersection to issue tickets to owner of vehicle. Plaintiff was ticketed per local ordinance authorized by comprehensive Illinois red light camera legislation, and mirrored wording of those new state laws. Plain language of statute does not require Village to prove that Plaintiff was personally driving her vehicle at time of traffic violation. Wording of Section 11-306 is general enoough to be applied to registered owners and drivers of vehicles. (J. GORDON and HOWSE, concurring.)
