Sadly, it'll go like this:

1. Suits will be filed
2. Judge will order it treated as a Class ("Class-Action")
3. Notices will be sent to red light camera ticket victims
4. 90% of them won't be responded to
5. Lawyers and politicians will pocket the rest of the money
6. Settlement will be reached for pennies on the dollar of those who DID respond
7. Lawyers will take their cut of that
8. Red light camera victims will be lucky to be awarded $0.05 on the dollar
9. Gov't will make payments to victims via an approved payment plan of 5% per year over 20 years.
9. Politicians will move right onto another similar scam measure to line its pockets and keep their lawyer buddies employed in perpetuity.

Long story short, as they say - possession is 9/10 of the law. Once someone else has your money, you're not getting it back - the victims here certainly aren't going to be "made whole", they're just going to receive some sort of restitution on paper that in reality costs the victimizer very little and makes the lawyers involved very rich.
