Judge resolves large red-light and crossing-guard docket: mixed outcomes after video review
Clayton County State Court concluded a lengthy traffic and automated enforcement calendar on the motions docket, reviewing camera and video evidence for red‑light, school‑zone speed, and crossing‑guard (school‑bus) citations.

The judge played camera footage in court for multiple appellants. In several crossing‑guard (school bus stop) matters the court found video evidence supporting the citation and set payment schedules, often allowing 90 days to pay. For other cases the judge granted appeals after viewing the footage or where the vehicle shown in the video was not the appellant’s car on record.

In one school‑zone speed appeal the court found the flashing school lights activated while the motorist was midway through the zone and dismissed that citation, instructing the motorist on how to seek refund of paid fines through the court clerk. In several other matters the court continued cases to allow appellants to provide affidavits asserting non‑operation of the vehicle at the time or to obtain records from the DMV to show a vehicle transfer.

Court staff and the solicitor’s office will prepare and email orders and modifications to affected litigants; the judge emphasized careful compliance with payment timelines to avoid arrest warrants.
