"Local authorities appeared conveniently unaware of the issue."

Anyone who thinks speeding tickets are anything more than revenue generators are fooling themselves. The local authorities can't possibly be unaware of this. Surely they've had people deny the charge and when the picture was pulled up the plate didn't match the registered make and model of the car.

Until someone sues a local government like this for extortion they really won't care who was speeding as long as someone coughs up the green.

I remember reading an article a few years ago that a county in suburban Philly dropped the photo radar because everyone challanged them by showing up at court and simply saying "that's not me". Since there isn't an officer to witness the violation that's all it takes.
So, the question is: in your county, which costs more the court fees or the mail in ticket?
