In Texas, Yes. The court can issue a ticket for red light violations from cameras.

In Florida, with the exception of a violation involving a traffic accident, yes, a moving violation has to be witnessed by a police officer. They say that red light running cameras are legal in Florida, but I disagree. The State Statute for moving violations in Florida states that they have to be witnessed by a police officer.

in Indiana the requirement or burden of proof for a moving violation or infraction is simply "good faith belief". therefore if the officer has credible information regarding a moving violation or for instance if the officer heard tires spinning and seconds later observed a vehicle traveling at a high rate of speed from the same area he may write a ticket for unsafe start

Depends. For a speeding ticket yes. But for other citations, no.
An example would be a failure to yield, too fast for conditions, etc that result in a traffic accident.
By the way Merkava22: working for a PD and being a cop are two different things..............

In Utah - no. As long as there is a witness to sign your citation as the complainant. Then that person gets to tell the court what you did. Another way is if there is evidence of your action - such as from an accident scene, which the officer can testify to.

Not necessarily. For instance, if you run a red light and cause an accident, the other motorist can assert to the officer that you ran the light. Then, the officer can ticket you for running the light.

They can get the info from a video camera or from an aircraft then an officer will issue the ticket

No. Go to any traffic court in America; you will see cops testifying to the most improbable and even impossible things and judges sitting there pretending to believe them. Remember, if you're innocent, the cops and judges don't get any money. If you or I go into court and lie, it's called perjury. Because cops lie so consistently on the stand, there's been a term coined for it, "testi-lying."

No. There just has to be evidence which has to be presented in court that you violated a traffic law if you want your day in court. The evidence could be a photograph, video or another motorist.

No, a citizen can sign a citation for a violation and the officer can issue it.
