This is an illegal speed trap. Newburgh Heights sits on the Cleveland side of the highway near the Fleet Ave. exit (none of that is their property) and clocks people with their photo-radar gun, which automatically issues fake tickets (“civil citations”), but the illegal part is that they do not have signs up warning drivers about this speed trap.

Check out ORC 4511.094 (A) (1) – which states that municipalities must post signs about any photo-traffic enforcement in their jurisdiction. Newburgh is running an illegal cash grab in their little village with only 2,000 residents. They don’t even have a municipal court. The police dept. has told me that their citations are legal because the law applies only to fixed cameras. Nope, sorry, the law does not specify what type of cameras – so that means ALL cameras must have a sign. Sorry Newburgh Heights, you’re issuing illegal tickets and it’s just a matter of time before you use some of those millions you’ve collected against the law and put up a damn sign. Or stop issuing fake, illegal tickets all together. Pull the cars over or follow the law. What a disgrace.
