DC lawyers sue against traffic cameras
Posted by Steven Wu on Thursday, April 17 @ 11:59:28 EDT Privacy
From the Washington Times:
Two D.C. lawyers have filed suit to force the city to return all fines from traffic cameras because they violate constitutional due process rights.
. . . .
"There is no proof that the owner is driving the car and the only way to get out of the ticket is to submit an affidavit identifying the person who was driving your car," Mr. Ruffin said.
. . . .
Tickets are issued to car owners based on photographs of the rear license plates as vehicles speed past a radar camera or run red lights at intersections.
