A California appellate court ruled that Los Angeles cannot outsource its initial review of traffic violations to a private contractor, LA Weekly reports. “Drivers across California should demand that their elected officials follow the law and end their illegal parking contracts with for-profit companies,” Caleb Marker, attorney at Zimmerman Reed, said. The court also remarked that Xerox, the for-profit company that Los Angeles outsourced the plaintiff’s ticket to, profited off of each ticket paid and was also incentivized to conduct administrative hearings. The court ordered that Xerox no longer have power to conduct any further reviews.
