Houston: After Mayor Annise Parker had capitulated to American Traffic Solutions (ATS)last summer, the city has reached an agreement to settle for $5 Million instead of $25 Million, which was the originally threatened amount by ATS and Parker.

Houston doesn't have enough money to settle this suit, so they are going to rely on uncollected fines, which is a shaky proposition. Expect this settlement to be foisted back on the taxpayer after the city fails to collect enough revenue on these fraudulent tickets.

The lesson here is not to get in bed with any red light camera company, but especially lawsuit-happy ATS.
