Don't you guys have a legal quirk where the accuser has to be able to testify in court, thus making camera fines null and void?

That's the usual method for court.

I think they'll get the people to send in the cash instead of bothering with an appearance.

There's also in the law that it must be a sworn officer witnessing the offense that issues said ticket... i.e., a human.

Currently in the land of fruits and nuts (and $5.89/gal regular ethanol gas) and these cameras are all over. Along with “wolfpacks” of CHPs lined up to pull over drivers going a few over.

Have to say i came around a corner doing 70 in a 55 and the patrolman had some leniency to not come after me.

Alaska has kept red-light cameras illegal so far.

While I do object to redlight cameras, I do wish people would follow the law and come to a full stop at red-light including "Right turn on red" stops.
