A federal judge sided yesterday with a traffic camera company by blocking anti-red light camera referendum sponsors in Houston, Texas from participating in an ongoing legal challenge. US District Court Judge Lynn N. Hughes will decide whether the November 2 vote of Houstonians against traffic cameras should be nullified. Hughes will now make his decision based solely on the arguments presented by supporters of photo enforcement -- the city of Houston and American Traffic Solutions (ATS).
Francis and Randy Kubosh had sought to intervene in the case as the main sponsors of the effort to place the charter amendment banning red light cameras on the ballot. The pair argued that they were the only parties capable of providing a real defense to the effort of ATS to undo the election. Both the city of Houston and ATS opposed the participation of Kubosh in the case, preferring instead to settle matters amongst themselves. Hughes saw no problem with this arrangement.
