a gentleman recently beat a camera ticket... he stated" I have a right to face my accuser in court". The camera cant speak
I don't understand how this holds water. What good are security cameras then?
security camera is only good if you can some how identify the perpetrator. Just cause it's your car doesn't mean it was you, and you can't ask the speed camera in court, hey did you definitely see me driving before you snapped the picture where you can't see me driving.
not that this is fully relevant:
there used to be this old man who needed a hobby that lived next to my highschool, every day when school let out he would sit at the traffic light where you left the school parking lot from and watch for any kids that would rev their engines or pulled out too fast and write down their license plates and call the cops... i don't know anyone who ever got a ticket from when he did that.
anyway, there was 2-3 times my senior year of school when he falsely accused people of doing burn outs and donuts in the school parking lot because of 2 people having similar vehicles. a friend of mine had a maroon diesel rabbit, and i had a red one both 4 doors, one day it had snowed and he was pulling his ebrake and doing donuts, by my senior year the school had left that douche start working as the parking lot monitor, he saw my friend sliding around, and then after everyone went in for school he walked around until he saw what he thought was the car doing donuts, so i got in trouble for it and lost my parking permit. i didn't make a fuss though because i had been doing donuts as well, i just hadn't been caught haha, i did it before anyone else was there, and also my friend then picked me up from a parking lot down the road and drove me up to school.
another time a girl i went to school with was dating a guy who didn't go to our school but he drove a red 96-99 mustang gt, her boyfriend did a burn out in the parking lot, then my friend with a 95 mustang gt got an actual citation for doing a burn out, funny enough my friend had stayed late at school working on a project that day so he had teachers verify his alibi, and fought it in court and won.
