It's more important for Police to write speeding tickets than it is to prevent crime?

Court ruled against them in Minnesota, put the burden on a person to prove their innocence rather than the state proving guilt.  All tickets written based on red light camera were thrown out.

Whether or not he's liable for the ticket despite who's driving sounds like a local thing to check into.  Also will be how conclusive the photo is showing who's behind the wheel.  If not definitive, I'm betting it defaults to the owner.

As to paying the ticket and getting points, some older processing systems can be bypassed by overpaying the ticket a bit, and tearing up the refund check they send you --- until the whole process was cleared, the points would not be assessed.  It was a neat loophole a lot of street racers and motorcycle squids took advantage of in some areas.

Insurance companies have raised heck over this loophole around the country, and new processing systems are not effected this way, but I got out of points in a speed trap in 2003 this way.

I'd ask for the code section that says you're responsible to track this person down. It might even be somewhere in the extra small print on the cite.

If I may RPM, how are cameras on highways a safety hazard?  People slowly down suddenly to try to avoid being caught?  When they have them here they were in white vans, people usually ignored them when traveling in a pack.

Don't ask me, ask the Texas Department of Transportation. It was their ruling.

*Then BigB woke up to find his hand a sticky mess and his belly glazed over in a "unidentifiable" substance with a tattered copy of some cheap Airline magazine under his head*

But what REALLY happened BigB?

there is a spray clear that will make your plate unreadable to the cameras.

When I read about cameras run by the government in science fiction stories in the 60's It would give me nightmares that government could ever get so intrusive into individuals lives....  now...  the horrors of books like 1984 are commonplace and accepted by most of you here.

that is "amazing"

So you want to break a law, to allow you to break another law?  Amazing.

In CMH we don't have speed cameras, but we have red-light cameras.  At the first two intersections where the cameras were installed red light running dropped by 71%.  Crashes caused by red light running dropped by 60%.

All at zero cost to the taxpayer, and no officer taken off the beat.
