Beaverton May Be Forced
to Refund Speeding Fines
Beaverton m ay need to repay
thousands o f speeding tickets if a
court finds that the city put signs
warning about photo-radar in the
wrong place. A Beaverton police of
ficer testified before a Washington
County Circuit Court judge that the
city didn't follow a state law that
requires that a warning sign be placed
between 100 yards and 400 yards
from a police van using a radar, ac
cording to a report in The Oregonian.
Officer Brad Conklin testified that
although the rule became effective
on Oct. 23, Beaverton didn’tputsigns
in the right places until March 1.
Police and city officials say they don’t
know what — if anything — they
will do about reimbursing tickets
issued during that time. “1 think we
are a long way from refunding,
based on one p e rso n ’s sta te
m e n ts ,” sa id L in d a A d lard ,
Beaverton’s chiefof staff last week.
“Until I can verify it, I have to
assume he is mistaken.” Sgt. Dean
Meisner, head o f the city’s traffic
division, estimated the photo-ra
dar unit gives out 1,200 to 1,400
tickets a month. Most are for be
tween $65 and $110 each, but can
go as high as $295 if a driver is
caught going more than 30 mph
over the speed limit.
C o m m ander D errick Foxw orth.
“ W e d o n ’t think these are ra n
dom a c ts .”
Investigators are looking at the
h isto ry o f every m an involved.
