Although Grant said unconstitutional, he said the denied and is now being ap- dependently. both courts found the Photo cameras have not yet been re- pealed, a motion he deems a Braun and MRCA Chief (Continued from page 1) Enforcement Stop Sign Program moved. According to Grant, “stall tactic”, so last week he Staff Counsel Laurie Collins did Dash Stolarz, MRCA spokes- in direct violation of the CVC Redflex filed an Anti-SLAPP filed for an injunctive release to not return several messages for woman. and the administrative process motion against him which was proceed against the MRCA in- comment as of press time. Stolarz said per the latest information available, there has been an “85 percent reduction in incidents in Franklin Canyon (seven incidents per day versus 46)” due to the cameras, which take a picture of the license plate at the rear of the car, and not of the driver, when vehicles approach the stop sign at an “excessive speed”. On average, approximately 2,050 citations are issued per month, she said, adding vehicle owners can appeal the citations after paying for their ticket but can also apply for a hard- ship waiver, and said tickets are issued to the owners, and not to the drivers of the vehicles. The revenue collected from the citations is put back into the parks to make the parks “safer and better”, Stolarz said. Stuart Grant of Northridge filed the lawsuit after he received a citation stating his vehicle was photographed in violation of the MRCA Ordinance for failure to come to a complete stop at a stop sign in Temescal Canyon on July 5, 2010. He said two pictures of his vehicle were attached but neither showed the driver. Per Grant, the citation stated he was not entitled to a hearing until he first paid the fine. He said he sent in a total of three letters to the MRCA in complaint requesting a hearing, but said in reply the MRCA simply stated he had waived his right to contest the citation since he did not pay the citation on time and if he did not pay it soon thereafter it would be sent to a collections agency. At this time, Grant said he decided to pursue a lawsuit, representing himself, against MRCA and Redflex Traffic Sys- tems (California) Inc, the company who installs and main- tains the cameras used in the MRCA stop signs in Nov. 2010. Grant’s complaint alleges that the stop sign cameras are illegal and unconstitutional as they violate the California Vehi- cle Code’s (CVC) provisions because they do not take a picture of the driver. He added that the CVC prohibits any photo enforcement at a stop sign and requires a picture taken of the driver so the driver can be held responsible for negligence, not the vehicle owner. Grant considers the proce- dure of collecting the $175 citation to be illegal and said it violates his Fifth Amendment right to due process. “This thing smells real bad,” Grant said. “It’s all about money under the guise of public safety.” Grant added that a second class action lawsuit was filed on behalf of Gareth Estwick, Jodi Bice and Phillip Robins, Jr. and represented by Michael Braun of the Braun Law Group against the use of the MRCA’s BEVERLY HILLS COURIER | APRIL 22, 2011 ARTS & Page 12 ENTERTAINMENT Rio–#1 At The Box Office And An Israeli Pianist Tamir Hendelman’s Trio Featured In Animated Delight For The Kids Free City Concert, Prelude To Playboy Jazz Fest Rio is an animated story of Award-winning Israeli pianist Tamir Blu (Jesse Eisenberg) and Jewel, a Jerry Hendelman and his trio will be featured in a fantastic Anne Hathaway, who free concert presented by the Playboy Jazz are the only two surviving Cutler Festival from 3:30-5 p.m, Sunday May 1 at the macaws of their kind.

Alleging it would increase a Parking Enterprise Fund deficit, the City Council fought the measure and attempted to ban it from the March ballot by suing in Superior Court. Judge Jones previously ruled the measure as unconstitutional as an improper imposi- tion on administrative matters on Jan. 4, 2011. Three days later, on Jan. 7, 2011, the California Court of Appeal granted a temporary stay of the decision, blocking the decision and allowing for the presence of the measure on the ballot, and preventing the ruling from being implement- ed. The Court of Appeal returned the lawsuit to the Supe- rior Court in March. Last week, Judge Jones set a hearing date for April 29 to revisit the issue after additional briefing.
