of East Bound Lane 3 at State Road 434 [Winter Springs, Florida] at Winding Hollow
Boulevard, a white Dodge truck, Florida Registration D45 4ND passed through the
intersection on a steady red light captured by video recording traffic control equipment
and was in Violation of Section 12-83.
On May 6, 2009, the Violation's recorded images were reviewed by Captain Chris
Diesler, a sworn Police Officer with the City of Winter Springs and found that Probable
Cause did exist to issue a Notice of Infraction. The Infraction was issued on May 7, 2009
to the registered owner, Mr. Roy Turner, who is here this evening. On May 26, 2009,
American Traffic Solutions received Mr. Turner's request contesting the Infraction and
requested a Hearing in front of the Code Enforcement Board as prescribed in Section 12-
89. of the City Code.
Additionally, the system requires in schedules and Administrative Review of all Evidence
and Infraction which was set for June 12, 2009; and with that Administration Review - I
actually review all the Evidence that is in the Evidence package; I re-review all the
images and the video. If Probable Cause still exists, I set it for the Code [Enforcement]
Board Hearing, which we did this evening. On June 12, [2009], an Administrative
Review was conducted by Captain Glenn Tolleson of all Evidence and recorded images
and upon re-review, Probable Cause still did exist and a Hearing was set for July 21,
2009 this evening."

there is an additional amount of an Administrative Fee of twenty-five dollars ($25.00). If
Mr. [Roy Donald] Turner is found Guilty this evening, his Fine would be one hundred
and fifty dollars ($150.00), not one twenty five [dollars] ($125.00)."
Chairman Wood asked, "Do you want to present these into Evidence?" Captain Tolleson
replied, "Yes. I have several to enter into Evidence. `WSRL-1' (Winter Springs Red
Light) would be the disk." Captain Tolleson stated that, "`A' Frame -would be `WSRL-
2'." Continuing, Captain Tolleson said, "This is the second shot taken; it is the `B'
Frame which is immediately taken -this would be `WSRL-3'." Next, Captain Tolleson

driving it."
To clarify, Captain Tolleson stated, "The Ordinance says that the registered owner of the
vehicle which Mr. Turner is, however, Mr. Turner says he is not the driver. He had an
opportunity to file an Affidavit that said his son was the driver. If you fail to do that, the
Respondent is responsible." Mr. Turner said, "How would I know that?" Captain
