Yes you can purchase copies of photo(s) by sending $11 to the SDRO (I did
that recently for a camera fine notice I've received), but they will NOT
show faces due to privacy laws - if any personal features are visible
they're obscured before the pictures are printed and sent.

I don't know if the photos when produced in a court will also have faces,
etc. obscured but I presume they would.
