None of that applies in this case though. There are states where the law is, if it is your car, you pay the fine. It is that way exactly because people like this dude will try and get out of paying the fine, and so the law has had to be changed. That means, in the rare occurrence that you actually were not driving your car and you don't know who was (and it wasn't stolen, that you know of), you have no way to get out of your ticket. This type of behavior has directly led to a situation where innocent people have lost their rights. Your idea of judges and jurors being jaded by guilty people pleading innocent is not real. Ok, so explain why states have laws where you must show you reported your car stolen to get out of a ticket? What would be the point of that, except if people who were guilty were using such arguments as these to get out of tickets? Laws restricting rights like this are enacted all the freaking time because of behavior like this article.
