To me, the whole guilty until proven innocent aspect of these tickets bothers me. That coupled with the fact that the cameras accuracy is questionable, at best. Tickets are given to an individual, not a vehicle.

I know the MN supreme court ruled these types of tickets unconstitutional, but that doesn't help me. I don't think ignoring them is an issue in DC.

Any more advice would be helpful.
wasn't the MN case about red lights? my friend got one and then mentioned it later on about the case.. unless there was a more recent one

doesn't mean that their argument isn't valid, since I don't know the details of it
