THE COURT OF APPEALS DECLARED AS UNCONSTITUTIONAL THE CITY'S CHARGING OF AN ARBITRARY FEE OF $50 TO $100 BEFORE ONE MAY INSTALL ANY TYPE OF ALARM OR CONTACT THE POLICE TO REPORT THE RESULTS OF A TRIGGERED ALARM. IN 2022 A CLASS OF FEE PAYERS WAS CERTIFIED AND $3.3 MILLION IN ASSESSMENTS WERE RETURNED TO ALL WHO PAID THEM. 2. STEVENS V. CITY OF COLUMBUS, OHIO: THE 1851 CENTER INITIATED THIS CASE TO PROTECT THE PROPERTY RIGHTS OF COLUMBUS HOMEOWNERS WHO ARE THREATENED WITH CRIMINAL PENALTIES AND EXCESSIVE FINES FOR "INCOMPATIBLE LANDSCAPING." THIS LITIGATION IS ONGOING, AS IS A COMPANION CASE FILED BY THE CITY OF COLUMBUS IN MUNICIPAL COURT SEEKING TO SEIZE THE FAMILY'S HOME. 3. MENKHAUS V.

THIS CASE REMAINS PENDING IN THE FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF OHIO. 5.
