For better or worse, these robocops are the wave of the future.

Video cams are here to stay as well.

Some people will say this is the same as squad cars replacing horses, and radios replacing police dispatched from the station.

No word on the impact on the donut industry.

The focus is on the wrong part of the story. It is not if this product will block a License Pate, the story should be on the illegality of “Red Light Cameras.” Notice that the owner of the car is give a ticket, regardless of who is driving. What if there are identical twins, and one borrows the car and runs the light? They say that if you were not driving to tell them who was. So now they want you to report someone else which is not the job of the owner. There is no do process because one cannot questions the Camera. What if there were extenuating circumstances, like waiting to make a left turn, or there was a traffic delay that caused you to be stuck in the intersection? In addition, the company that owns the cameras get a cut of the ticket money. So it is in there best interest to catch more people. In fact one company was tried for adjusting the stop lights and cameras to create more runners than would happen naturally.
No this is part of the Government Media complex. Create an illegal ticket scheme to rise money then use the press to push it.

"Then, the vehicle's owner gets a $65 ticket in the mail, regardless of who's driving."

Is that all? In Fresno they would get a ticket for 370 dollars. Well, that is before the pulled the system out. There were problems with it and the greedy city wasn't making enough money.

Is it legal? Is it legal to have cameras when you have a right to face your accuser? Is it right when the American Left (the great champions of right to privacy) sets up these cameras?

In a related matter, a Hennepin County,MN, Judge struck down the Minneapolis ordinance because the police ticketed the vehicle's owner instead of the driver.

A polarizing filter on the camera would counter the glare.

Did the Council Bluffs police department have to pay the fine for defacing their license plate?
