An activist group is considering filing a lawsuit against the cities of Orlando, Apopka and even Orange County over red-light cameras on roads.

The Florida Civil Rights Association said red-light cameras that photograph and ticket drivers who ignore the signals are unconstitutional.

The group cites a recent Minnesota Supreme Court ruling that the cameras violate due process because car owners cannot confront their accuser in court since the accuser is a machine.

Also, Minnesota justices call red-light cameras unfair because the car's owner is automatically assumed to be at fault and since the cameras are not at all intersections, the law is not enforced equally everywhere.

Word of the possible lawsuit comes days after Orange County Mayor Rich Crotty gave up -- at least for now -- on sending out tickets from red-light cameras.

Instead, drivers caught on camera running a red light will get a warning in the mail.

Crotty said he likes the cameras because he believes they save lives.

In 2005, 165,000 people were injured nationwide in crashes from running red lights. Nearly 800 of the drivers were killed and half of those were innocent drivers and passengers in cars hit by red-light runners.

At the intersection where an experimental camera is located in Orlando, violations have decreased by more than 40 percent and crashes decreased by more than 50 percent in nine months, according to an earlier WKMG report.
