If those are successful cities won't be so interested in cameras until the legislature, which is inevitable, changes state law.

Here's one law firm willing to add you to their suit:

Good point on the parking ticket reference. I spoke with a Fife "officer" and he told me that the violations are treated like a parking violation to which I replied, I have never seen or heard of a $124 parking ticket. That statement was obviously not worthy of a reply or comment.

Bonney Lake had a few speed traps a couple years ago. the equipment was owned by an independant company and the deal was they would split the money with the city from all of the violations. Not sure what ever became of that deal but the cameras are gone.
