Those cameras are unconstitutional. You have the right to face your accuser in court, and in this instance, your accuser is a camera. I have a friend who is a police officer and he even explained why its unconstitutional.

Total, utter bullshite.

I'm not surprised your police officer friend got it wrong, too.

Here, let me explain.

These are CIVIL charges, not criminal.

Now, here's the Sixth Amendment. Let's see if you're smart enough to put two and two together:

quote:

---

In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial, by an impartial jury of the State and district wherein the crime shall have been committed, which district shall have been previously ascertained by law, and to be informed of the nature and cause of the accusation; to be confronted with the witnesses against him; to have compulsory process for obtaining witnesses in his favor, and to have the Assistance of Counsel for his defence
