Re: [ST] Dont let the bastards get you......

["Chris Harwood" <Chris@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

In the UK the registered owner is ultimately responsible but is given
the opportunity to divulge who the driver was at the time of the offence
with a view to the right person being penalised.
I don't know if we are ahead of the US on speed cameras (or scameras as
they're un-affectionately called) but many are now in pairs with a
forward-facing one to get the occupants' faces on film.
Having said that, there is some kind of review in progress to see if
the arguments for them have been over-stated (my words).

 In Minnesota there are court cases challenging the use of these red
light
cams.  The biggest problem with the cameras is that they are designed
primarily to photograph the license plate.  The ticket is then mailed
to the
owner of the car and said traffic violation is posted against the car
owners
driving record.  Lend out your car and you can get prosecuted for a
crime
you didn't commit, especially since it can be next to impossible to
identify
the the driver in the photo.  With a standard traffic stop involving a
police officer, the identity of the violator is clearly established. 
It
really has nothing to do with privacy, but the assumed guilt and
difficulty
of proving innocence.  The exact opposite of the standard "innocent
until
proven guilty".
