Not incriminating yourself LAW on speed cameras?

Question

I seem to remember hearing somwher that ther was a flaw in the speed camera laws. Relating to the fact it is unlawfull for one to incriminate oneself. I.E the ticket askes you to name yourself as the owner / driver of the vehicle at the time of the oleged offence, or name somone els as the driver. aparently this is unlawful, if this is the case wher do i find out more information on the procedures to take

Answer 1

How is this 'unlawful?' You are being asked to provide the name of the person driving the car if it was not yourself.

Of course the best way to answer this question is to fight the ticket in court and use this as your defense. If you are lucky the judge may explain how the law works to you after he tells you to pay the fine.

Answer 2

It is not unlawful, it is unconstitutional to FORCE you to testify against yourself. Firstly, that does not prevent the govt from simply ASKING you if you were the person driving. Secondly, testifying means making a statement under oath in a court room. Thirdly, this doesn't apply if the govt is asking you to identify another person.

If you plan on fighting the ticket you will have your day in court and if that's the case show up and make whatever argument you're going to make. If your argument is that it wasn't you then why not fill that part of the ticket out. If your argument is that it was you but you had a good reason for speeding or were not speeding then filling it out doesn't affect your argument. If your argument is that you can't identify the person in the photo then simply say that, or don't fill it out at all and show up for court and make that argument.

In sum, if they got a clear picture of you and you were speeding you are screwed.
