Every speed camera must be calibrated and certified before the images from it are acceptable to the court, including the cameras used in police vehicles.
The pictures taken by road-rule enforcement cameras must usually be viewed by a person before any infringement notice or ticket is issued to the driver, and judged to be satisfactory or not. This step is known as verification, and is a standard legal requirement in nearly all jurisdictions.
Verifiers typically must check some or all of the following:
~that there is no sign of interference with the vehicle detector by objects other than the alleged speeding vehicle,
~that the licence plate is unambiguously readable according to a legal standard,
~that the make and model of vehicle matches that recorded by the licensing authority for the number plate,
...and in some jurisdictions
~that the appearance of the driver in the images is adequate in some way - for example, that it matches the picture on the driving licence of the vehicle's registered owner.
In most jurisdictions, verification is carried out by the police force, although in many places it is carried out by private companies on a fixed-price basis under close police supervision.
Your chances of "beating" the system are pretty slim.
Lastly, look yourself in the mirror and ask yourself...."Was I speeding?" If you can answer honestly...I'd say...
Pay the ticket!
Best wishes!
