Red Light Cameras

Apparently laziness isn't standing in the way of the government trying to screw us. Since they don't want to pay to put a cop on every corner to catch all of us doing something they can fine us for, the powers that be have decided to install Red Light Cameras. The concept seems simple enough- if your car goes through the light when it is red, the camera snaps a photo of your license plate while another snaps the light showing it was red. Or does it. How do we know there isn't a time delay? What if you go through on yellow and it changes to red after you enter? And what if you aren't driving? I thought the burden of proof was on the government... i seem to recall reading that somewhere. But instead the burden shifts to the citizen to prove he was not driving or the light wasn't red. Now there is talk of the city making this offense civil in nature to avoid all of those pesky Constitutional issues. I for one will tell everyone I know to tell the city to fuck off. If you receive a summons in the mail, throw it away. The City will never be able to prove you received it. If they fine you, don't pay it. The County jail is over capacity as it is, no way in hell they will ever put anyone in jail for civil contempt for not paying this stupid ass fine. Its a joke.
