CLEVELAND -- There's a growing list of people who want to get rid of red-light cameras and push for refunds of millions of dollars to drivers who were issued traffic tickets.

Chief investigative reporter Duane Pohlman said the issue is headed for an Ohio State Supreme Court showdown.

"This one of the biggest cases I've ever filed and the day I filed it, I thought it was the smallest one I'd ever filed," said Akron attorney Warner Mendenhall.

He will be arguing against tickets received from red-light cameras before the Ohio Supreme Court.

"What the cities have done is unconstitutional and violates state law," Mendenhall said.

Mendenhall is representing his wife kelly who was angry over a $150 ticket.

"I was angry enough to say I'm not paying this ticket," Kelly said.

Mendenhall vs. Akron is now the case for hopes of removing red-light cameras across the state.

A long list of lawyers and even a lawmaker are supporting the claim that the cameras are illegal.

State Rep. Jim Raussen, a Republican near Cincinnati, signed his support to Mendenhall's claim.

"I feel very strongly, and that's why it's important to join the fight," said Raussen.

He said lawmakers have already voted to remove the cameras --- a bill that was vetoed by outgoing Gov. Bob Taft.

"I can't fathom why the governor at the time had problems with it. Perhaps he wasn't someone who used or drove his car a lot," Raussen said.

He said the court should rid Ohio of all red-light cameras.

Pohlman said if the case succeeds, the cities, including Cleveland and Akron would be forced to pay back millions of dollars raised at these red-light cameras.

"They took the money illegally. Now, they have to give it back," Mendenhall said.

A showdown is now set in the state's highest court.

"This is how this stuff comes about. What happens is somebody gets mad about what the government is doing and they take it on themselves to do something about it," Mendenhall said.

Officials from Cleveland, Akron and other cities contend the cameras are legal and are installed for safety.

The Ohio Supreme Court is expected to hear the case before the end of June.
