A Greenwich resident is suing the town and its speed camera vendor, seeking to void every citation the school-zone program produced.

Stephen Lockton filed the class action Tuesday, Sept. 8, in Stamford Superior Court on behalf of all drivers who paid fines under the program, according to court records. The suit alleges the town violated state law when it launched the cameras without a required public hearing. It names the Town of Greenwich and Blue Line Solutions, LLC, a Tennessee-based speed camera vendor, as defendants.

The lawsuit was filed by Milford-based firm Hurwitz Sagarin & Slossberg. The complaint alleges the Board of Selectmen approved the camera ordinance in May 2024 without holding a public hearing required under state law. The cameras did not begin operating until late 2025, and the complaint does not explain the gap.

When the town later submitted its program to the state for approval, the paperwork omitted hearing records, according to a Greenwich Free Press report on the filing. Both the Town Clerk and First Selectman confirmed no hearing had taken place, the complaint states.

The suit also alleges the town's contract with Blue Line Solutions tied the vendor's pay to citation volume. Connecticut law prohibits paying speed camera vendors a fee based on the number of tickets issued.

Citation revenue was held in Blue Line Solutions' private accounts rather than a Qualified Public Depository as required by state law, the suit alleges. That arrangement allowed the company to deduct its fees before sending anything to Greenwich.

A monthly report from Blue Line Solutions showed the company reported $512,920 owed to itself and just $1,109.10 owed to the town for January and February 2026, according to the complaint. Plaintiffs' attorneys estimated the program collected roughly $1.4 million in fines and fees during its four months of operation. Neither the town nor Blue Line Solutions has disclosed the total.

Before the cameras were suspended, the program issued more than 12,000 warnings and thousands of citations across ten school zones, including Greenwich High School, Central Middle School and Glenville School, according to the town's program page.

"The government cannot demand that residents follow the law while ignoring the procedures that govern its own conduct," attorney Timothy Cowan of Hurwitz Sagarin & Slossberg said in a news release.

First Selectman Fred Camillo suspended the program April 2 after an internal review found the town had not completed the required public hearing process. More than 1,500 people signed a petition opposing the cameras.

When a hearing was finally held, roughly 60 residents signed up to speak with just three days' notice, according to earlier reporting. The Representative Town Meeting (RTM) voted 100-60 on June 16 to resubmit the program for state approval.

Police Chief James Heavey said in late August that the state was reviewing the resubmitted plan, with a response expected by the end of September.

Camillo declined to comment on the lawsuit, Greenwich Free Press reported. No public response from Blue Line Solutions appeared in court records or published reports.

The suit seeks a court declaration that the ordinance and every citation issued under it are void, plus full restitution of fines, fees and surcharges for the class. The case return date is Tuesday, Sept. 22. Drivers who paid a citation under the program can contact Hurwitz Sagarin & Slossberg at 203-877-8000 about the class action.
