The way people end up on this list is super opaque, but it's certainly not used to catch wanted criminals. In fact, the US doesn't have super reliable systems to stop fugitives at airports except on entry.

The big thing here is that the driver was identified, you got his details. Same thing does not really happen with camera-issued fines, even if technically feasible given a good quality picture of the drivers face.
