Subject: RE: [Az-Geocaching] Oregon bureaucrats propose using GPS to track each driver...
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.
