It is also worth noting that the ticket is issued to the vehicle’s registered owner, not necessarily to the person driving at the time of the violation. That raises a broader concern seen in other camera-enforcement cases: whether the burden should instead fall on the government to identify the driver, rather than defaulting liability to the registered owner 
This really needs to be tested in court. So you get car jacked and the thief has a high speed police chase and you get a ticket in the mail? 
Judge Says Red-Light Camera Tickets May Be Unconstitutional
Steven P. DeLuca argued that the government should be responsible for proving who was driving at the time of the violation, rather than placing that burden on the vehicle owner.
Looking ahead, AI could expand the role of automated enforcement even further. With police officers unable to monitor every intersection, AI-powered traffic cameras are already being deployed to detect multiple violations automatically, with some systems operating in places like Dallas. If these technologies can more accurately identify drivers, they may help address some of the legal concerns raised in cases like the recent Florida ruling.  |
Had this happen to a friend of mine. She lives in Central Virginia and drives 8 miles round trip daily to her job. She received a speeding ticket in the mail from a municipality in Maryland over 125 miles away. The ticket was time stamped at 7:30 AM on a Thursday when she was at school preparing to teach for the day.
I stepped in to get the ticket rescinded. It was clear by the photos and video the car was not hers and the license plate image was not clear enough to be read correctly. The machine reader just guessed at the best possible plate and issued a ticket. Only until one requests a human review the license plate image is there a chance to find an error in the automated machine-read system. The image in the speeding ticket file (reviewable online) showed a RAV4 SUV, when my friend drives a Mazda product. Complete and utter BS. But we lemmings let it happen. NO KINGS!
