There’s a border battle over speeding tickets issued by the traffic enforcement cameras in Sioux City. The State of South Dakota is now blocking police in Sioux City, Iowa, from getting the addresses for South Dakota license holders caught by speed cameras on Interstate 29. Matt Konenkamp, a policy adviser to South Dakota Governor Dennis Daugaard (DOO-gard), says the block took effect Wednesday.

A South Dakota law bars police from sharing vehicle information with private companies that collect the fines from tickets issued by traffic enforcement cameras. However Konenkamp says Sioux City police have been giving that information to Redflex, the private company that manages Sioux City’s speed camera program.

Sioux City used to issue 168-dollar speed camera tickets, but the city council voted last month to lower the fine to 100 dollars.
