There are really two issues. One is the concept of "speed cameras"
and whether they are appropriate for a nation that allegedly values
its freedom from onerous gvt jackboots.
The other is whether the state should be required to have PROOF that
you knew about the citation before convicting you. Since there is no
cop who stops you to give you the ticket you may not even know you
"got" one. As more and more citizens realize that getting these photo
tickets in the mail means nothing since simply mailing it does not
constitute "service" of the summons. So you can just **** can any of
them and then the gvt has to have a process server properly serve you
JUST AS WOULD BE REQUIRED for any other crime you are accused of. Now
they are trying to get around these legal protections and just saying
that if they mail it to you they don't need to do ANYTHING else and
can convict you even though you may have never received the notice.
