The thing about automated tickets in the US is that they are kind of against the bill of rights, what with the lack of due process and all.
First of all, they can't prove it was the individual in the car, with the ty quality and all.
Second of all, off with your Orwellian surveillance.
We have tolls and you can get an automatic RFID-based toll tag for your car, so that you don't have to wait in line an scrounge for cash. People argued that they could use those tags to record your entry/exit times on the highway and then send you tickets in the mail. So far, the highway people said that it's a violation of privacy and will never happen.
Have fun with all that video surveillance, Britain. Let us know how it works out for you. Why not put an RFID tag on every car and fine everyone every time the car exceeds the speed limit by 4kmh? |

False. Happens all the time. I have seen it myself. My former boss got a ticket and I have seen people in court as a result multiple times. |

| Speed cameras. Ive never seen them when im home on the east coast.... they may have them in arizona or california though not really sure. Usually a speed camera for us is the cops using radar. Albeit we are ALL about these idiotic red light cameras. |

The first one is the production police car that they are going to produce. Yes, it is purpose-built, but it is still a police car that will be mass produced.

Nah we don't have them in California at all. |

We don't have speed cameras that automatically dole out tickets, but there are cameras at most every intersection around here regardless. Watching. Not sure if I'd rather know they use them to fine people, or leave their undoubtedly insidious purpose left to the imagination! FASCIST POLICE STATE TAKING MY FREEDOMS WTF
The city I went to HS in had a Corvette on their police force though. The rest of them drive brand new Chargers anymore. Who would have thought that crime-fighting could generate so much profit? |

| There has to be a way to create a plastic cover that only has viewing angles that a ground level cop car can see. That way these stupid cameras can't get your plates. lol |

| They have them, they're just illegal and quite obvious to Police. |

Yeah I know they are illegal, since you aren't allowed to have any cover at all on your plate. I would still rock it. |

| You know those billboards that have the rotating panels that periodically display different adverts every few seconds? They can custom make your plates like that. $. |
