A Broward County judge has ruled that Florida’s red light camera law is unconstitutional, potentially impacting similar systems statewide, including Pensacola’s. The judge found that the law impermissibly shifts the burden of proof to vehicle owners, requiring them to prove they weren’t driving when a violation occurred, rather than the government proving guilt. This ruling challenges the “legal shortcut” used for years in red light camera enforcement. While this specific ruling only applies to one case, legal experts suggest it could pave the way for broader challenges against such citations. Pensacola, which installed cameras in 2025, has generated significant revenue from these tickets, with a large portion going to the state.
