    Apparently, the issue with mail-in tickets specifically is that while the camera can catch the license plate number, it can’t really prove who was driving the car. So whereas an in-person ticket from a cop for passing a school bus will result in points on your license, a mail-in ticket from a camera like this won’t. The same problem applies to people that just don’t pay the mail-in tickets - the state doesn’t really know who to go after specifically.

      That’s some weird legal loopholes.

      Over here, if you own a car you are responsible for who drives it. So if you get a mail-in ticket, you can either name the driver (and in case of a dispute prove that they were the driver) or you yourself are counted as the driver.

        Oh, so you’re saying your country does something better than my country? Take your xenophobia and stick it where the sun doesn’t shine.

        :D

          Yeah, saying software quality sucks because foreigners are programming it is totally the same as saying that a specific law in one country is worse than the equivalent in another law. Sure.
