Supreme Court of Florida

Richard Masone, Petitioner v. City of Aventura, Respondent; City of Orlando, Florida, Petitione — Pariente, J…

June 12, 2014147 So. 3d 492

Summary

Justice Pariente dissents, arguing that before the 2010 Mark Wandall Traffic Safety Act the Florida Legislature had not expressly preempted municipal red‑light camera programs and that the ordinances enacted by Orlando and Aventura were valid exercises of home‑rule authority. The dissent maintains that the statutes authorizing traffic regulation by municipalities include the power to use cameras and impose civil penalties, and that no conflict preemption exists.
