The city of Aventura issued a traffic citation to Mr. Jimenez, alleging he ran a red light. He challenged the citation, arguing the city’s contract with a red-light camera company violated state law by delegating too much responsibility to the private company. The city and state disagreed. The trial court dismissed the citation but certified legal questions raised by Mr. Jimenez as issues of great public importance for review by the Third District Court of Appeal. The 3rd DCA rejected Mr. Jimenez’s arguments but also certified the issues as matters of great public importance for this Court’s review.
