Its protest against unfair implementation. You can't charge a person with a crime when you can't even identify that person. But thats what the government is doing. And people are scared enough (or ignorant of their rights) that they simply submit.
- doughj3 13y agoPeople aren't "scared enough" that they submit, they submit because they have been caught. I'm not sure what makes an automated radar with a camera any different than a state trooper holding a radar gun, can you elaborate why that's an "unfair"?
- coralreef 13y agoAn officer pulls you over, takes your license and registration, physically identifies you and can testify in court should you challenge the ticket.
- EpicEng 13y agoYeah... unfortunately, they always get my face as I roll through red lights on right hand turns... usually talking on my cell phone.
- scoofy 13y agoThere are many ways this isn't unfair. Driving is a privilege, not a right. If you refuse to pay the ticket, but deny your car was stolen, it would be simple enough for the state to revoke your license. Same as with failing to submit to a breathalyser can result in a suspended license. The state can simply make it your duty to monitor who drives your car.
- FireBeyond 13y agoA traffic citation is not a felony charge, and hence different rules apply. There is a general, and reasonable (please feel free to argue how it is unreasonable) expectation that the registered owner is the driver of the vehicle or is aware of who is driving the vehicle at any given time.
