Postal Service Immunity Cited To Get Away With Fines

The American Traffic Solutions (ATS), the Arizona-based company that enforces East Cleveland’s camera citations, sent notices of liability totaling nearly $700 in traffic tickets.

“However, as you are probably aware, the Postal Service enjoys federal immunity from state and local regulation,” Breslin said.
