FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - August 18, 2011 -

A Broward County judge has ruled that red-light cameras don't violate constitutional rights.

Judge Steven P. DeLuca ruled Wednesday on an array of
issues including due process and speedy trial protections, and the
admissibility of the images the cameras capture. He found none of
the arguments held up in court.

Broward County began using red-light cameras in 2007. Since
then, the county has faced hundreds of court challenges and cities
have spent thousands defending citations.

Defense attorney Ted Hollander says he has begun appealing the
decision.
