I don't like speed cameras, but, you will not win this battle. If you go to court, you will likely be fined what you would pay if you just paid the ticket. Aslo, court costs will also be leveed, and you would end up paying more than you would if you just paid it.
There is some question to the validity of receiving citations by camera. But, under current laws, they are allowed.
Best to pay the fine and be done with it. Or, take defensive driving if allowed.

Any black and white sign is a regulatory sign and as such is enforced by using regulation. Any site visitors marking on public roadway is regulatory and enforceable. Enforcement in spite of the incontrovertible fact it somewhat is desperate by using the presence and action of a site visitors/police/peace officer. the subject lies therein. have not you ever stated "the place are the law enforcement officials once you decide on one there"? they'd't be everywhere and such somewhat some instances drivers smash out with issues. Police additionally use discretion whilst ticketing drivers. Any offense must be waiting to be argued in a courtroom of regulation and gained. the dimensions of tires varies too, and can influence the accuracy of a speedometer, so police oftentimes supply some leeway whilst issuing speeding citations. there is oftentimes an annual open courtroom day for the conventional public. you may desire to present this question at that factor and notice what your answer would be. this is a sturdy portion of discover out info from respected supplies somewhat than on mere hypothesis and heresay.

You sped, and the computer camera catching you is the evidence. These cameras are everywhere around the University where I go to school. (oh how many students they have caught speeded trying to get to class on time) My advice is just pay the fine, and be a little smarter next time you're behind the wheel.

It is 100% enforcable, the noitices of intended prosecution are done as a mail merge and sent by computer after the speed cameras are downloaded.
It does not need to be signed

Yes, first remember that what the police issue is merely a order to appear in court, it is not anything more or else, but allows you a option to pay it without appearing.
So often these don't even go though the police department and are done by a private company.
So in court you will have to defend yourself against the photo.

In most municipalities it is the same as if an officer pulled you over. You could challenge the measuring equipment but it's unlikely you would have success. Probably cheaper to just pay your fine or maybe take traffic school if it is available.

Yes - however if you are claiming it was not you driving, then as the owner of the vehicle you must tell the police who the driver was at the time of the offence, failure to do so is an offence in itself.

Did they just send you a picture of your car as you went speeding by? I hate it when they do that! Send them a photo of some money and call it good.

Oh yes you are a GREAT amateur lawyer eh.
You done it. You got caught.
I'd love to see you challenge this in court though. Remember to get back to us and tell us all how you get on!!
