NYC Issues and Collects Fines for Invalid Speed Camera Tickets: Class Action Lawsuit

NEW YORK - Feb. 13, 2018 - PRLog -- Imbesi Law P.C. has filed a class action lawsuit against the City of New York for issuing invalid speed camera tickets for alleged violations of Section 1180-b of the New York Vehicle and Traffic Law ("NYVTL"). The case, Abram Muladzhanov v. The City of New York, Civil Case No. 18-cv-00930, was filed in the United States District Court, Eastern District of New York.

The complaint alleges that from April 30, 2013, through the present, the City of New York was aware that NYVTL Sections 1180-b(d) and 1180-b(g)(2) require all issued Notices of Liability for alleged speed camera violations to contain a certificate charging liability, signed to or affirmed by a technician employed by the City of New York. Nevertheless, the City continues to issue and collect fines for alleged violations of NYVTL 1180-b without providing a certificate charging liability.

"The City is penalizing its citizens for allegedly violating the same law it chooses to ignore," says Mr. Muladzhanov's attorney, Israel Klein, Esq. The class action lawsuit seeks to recover damages on behalf of all individuals who received a New York City speed camera ticket between August 30, 2013, and the present and paid the mandated fine.

Imbesi Law P.C. filed a similar class action lawsuit against the City of New York in August of 2017. The case, Jacob Stern v. The City of New York, Civil Case No. 17-cv-04971, is currently pending in the Eastern District of New York and alleges that the City knowingly issued and collected fines for invalid Muni Meter tickets from April 20, 2017, through September of 2017. The tickets incorrectly alleged violations of Section 4-08(h)(10) of the Rules of the City of New York, which was previously repealed. As a result of the class action lawsuit, the City partially refunded or dismissed approximately 507,668 invalid Muni Meter tickets, totaling approximately $26 million.
