Automated Vehicle Identification Systems (AVIS) are camera-based technologies used by law enforcement to detect and record traffic violations, primarily speeding and red-light infractions.

More like if government stopped wasting money and needing to find other ways to generate it, we wouldn’t be here.

It is also worth noting that the ticket is issued to the vehicle’s registered owner, not necessarily to the person driving at the time of the violation. That raises a broader concern seen in other camera-enforcement cases: whether the burden should instead fall on the government to identify the driver, rather than defaulting liability to the registered owner

This really needs to be tested in court. So you get car jacked and the thief has a high speed police chase and you get a ticket in the mail?


Judge Says Red-Light Camera Tickets May Be Unconstitutional

Steven P. DeLuca argued that the government should be responsible for proving who was driving at the time of the violation, rather than placing that burden on the vehicle owner.

Looking ahead, AI could expand the role of automated enforcement even further. With police officers unable to monitor every intersection, AI-powered traffic cameras are already being deployed to detect multiple violations automatically, with some systems operating in places like Dallas. If these technologies can more accurately identify drivers, they may help address some of the legal concerns raised in cases like the recent Florida ruling.

We are so far down the rabbit hole of inattentive driving and people not following the law that I simply don't care about someone's "freedom" to break the law and speed at this point. It doesn't supersede people's right to not be killed by a car.

NJ toll-way authority has been practicing this for a few decades. Issuing $50+ "tickets" if you average speed was 10mph greater than posted between two tool reading locations.
However, they only do it to their own customers.
Therefore, myself and everyone I know are customers of PA or CT toll-way authority, and we are just permanently roaming through NJ.

YMMV,

I guess the GTI didn't think the State Trooper could get to him since he was in the center lanes and the LEO was in the truck lanes.

The moment speed cameras become mainstream in the US... the performance car market dies a painful death... thankfully we aren't quite there yet but who knows what they are doing w the flock cameras.

The GTI driver also didn't know the first rule of braking traffic laws, "Police have radios", followed by the second rule, "Police have tasers and guns", followed but the third rule, "Police have bad days too".

Ironically, around here it's the minivans, lifted trucks, and SUVs driving at triple-digits on every freeway/tollway.

I don't want the same idiots that "F" up a simple gas can to have anything to do with ticketing me for speeding and mailing me a fine.

Shout out to all the low T folks who spread this diarrhea: "IF U R NAWT DOIN N E THING WRONG DEN U HAV NUTHIN 2 WORRY ABOUT."

They're going to be the same ones who will be confused at how we got here when we're surveilled the way Chinese people are.

I think you can have this mindset and also not want mass surveillance. Goes right back to the point someone made about not wanting people in vehicular deaths. You can speed (faster than the set limit) and drive smartly and safely. Those things can be true at the same time.

Punishing all for the acts of few. Though the dumb few are growing in numbers because we have made it so easy to get by on this planet.
