Well, one of my
kids got nailed in Scottsdale, driving our car (registered to us). I got the
ticket in the mail Went down to the police station. They showed me the photo.
It obviously wasn't my picture. They asked me if I knew who the driver was. I
told them no. They stamped something on the citation and later on I got
something in the mail stating the charges had been dropped. But I told my kid
if it happened again I'd rat him out in a heartbeat.

Yeah, but if fought in court (supposedly) you
can get out of it.... from what I've been told. Anyone experience
this?

The inability to identify the
driver hasn't stopped the red light cameras from mailing
tickets.

That's an interesting idea that I hadn't
thought about... If GPS was allowed to be used for law enforcement
they could develop thresholds in which it would automagically mail you a
ticket... actually this may not happen because they couldn't be
sure if the owner of the vehicle was actually driving... but it could
prompt authorities to attempt to intersect you and pull you over,
I'd
imagine.
