    what if your family member or friend was using your car? what if your car was stolen? also, some of those cameras will ticket for legal right on red.

    they just catch plates and send a ticket in the mail to the registered owner. it’s not great. source - i live in a city with these, though state law now means the city can no longer enforce tickets. also, the idea of camera/computer generated rosters of law-breakers is unsettling.

      If your car was reported stolen, then you document that and get the ticket canceled. I don’t see how the presence of a police officer changes anything about that.

      I don’t have a problem with the owner getting a ticket if someone else was driving. I also, again, don’t see how that’s relevant. It’s not like the police officer is going to remember who was in the car.

      The camera ticketing for something legal is a technical issue that should be fixed.
