So wait a minute... as per these arguments, all laws for speeding are null and void because government can't prosecute you unless some citizen brings complaint

  No that's incorrect. They can either do that, treating your speeding as a civil case, or - much more commonly - they treat it as a criminal case. The complaint here is that they are picking and choosing between the two approaches, providing the safety mechanisms of neither. Edit: Also, it appears the authors claim that the city couldn't constitutionally treat it as a civil case are being disputed elsewhere: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/2017/01/13/law-professor-gets-a-traffic-camera-ticket-hilarity-ensues/?utm_term=.bc75cb9db24b https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp/201...
