That’s the thing about this...so many folks are tying up the traffic court on challenges....that the city thinks if the deal is $50....you just won’t argue and you’ll write a check easily. That’s the deal. If just ten percent of the folks challenged the tickets...you can imagine the various lawyers that the city would have to have on staff....to handle these cases. You can figure half the occasions go for the driver anyway, if challenged.
In Germany...there are ‘experts’ who hire themselves out now...to appear in court and take down the positive nature of the cameras. There area dozens of ways to cast doubt on the picture or camera being accurate. The state rarely wins if these experts show up to vouch for your case.
We'll see how far that strategy goes.
