TEMPE, AZ - A Tempe man wants $8 million in damages for getting a photo radar ticket two years ago.
Daniel Gutenkauf filed the lawsuit this month naming the City of Tempe, Redflex which operates the cameras, and a slew of other defendants. He claims that the system is unconstitutional and that the agencies involved are committing fraud by failing to identify the drivers properly and failing to certify the citations.

Nobody's even talking about the worst part, we pay for every ticket these cameras write. They have quotas they MUST get each month, we pay for the people that review these tickets and send them out. On top of that the company's that run the cameras get a percentage for every ticket they write. Yep thats right folks, they went and privatized traffic tickets.

@gyco7 yes! he received a ticket he claims it wasn't him, even tho he wont give a straight answer on camera about who was driving , an now he wants $8 million, the facts are he or his brother committed a crime, just to provide a document of who is on the insurance does not mean his innocent, people in the UK try this trick all the time but we are not stupid enough to then ask for 8 million in return

He filed in US District Court. They're not quite as corrupt.. if he loses it still got a lot of press. We can protest by not paying ours.

Will he let others join his suit? Might as well make it a class-action and take it all the way on appeals if necessary. AZ judges don't like pro se litigants, so he can plan on losing in Superior Court.
