How does that even nearly meet the "guilty beyond reasonable doubt" criterion? I don't see how that could ever hold up in court.

- viggity 14y agoin Iowa, the tickets they issue are civil citations, not criminal citations. Therefore, you have no right to confront your accuser and there is a lower criterion for guilt. Also, if you want to contest it to an administrative judge, it'll cost you an EXTRA $80
- Wingman4l7 14y agoThis is the state saying "We value the court's time & resources over actual justice." Anecdata: A coworker once got ticketed for speeding on a highway on-ramp. Upon trying to contest his fine in court using photos of the roads, he was told by the judge that he would be fined an extra $[large sum] for every photo he attempted to show to him.
- Wingman4l7 14y agoTherein lies the problem. I'm reminded of this "Artifact From The Future" from Wired Magazine's "Found" feature in their Feb. 2007 issue -- a speeding ticket in 2054: http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.02/images/found.jpg http://www.wired.com/wired/archive/15.02/images/found.jpg Very prescient, IMO.
