Catch 22

When it comes to law enforcement, even when you are right, you are wrong. This evening on Las Vegas Ed Deline learned the hard way when he tried to prove that the red light camera had incorrectly implicated him in a crime.

After all that work, he was right, but the judge wasn't going to let him off that easy.

ONN is reporting that Columbus is planning to install red light cameras at 3 intersections this summer. I am becoming fed up with the crappy drivers around here, everyone becomes a crappy driver in the crappy weather. So I am all for these cameras. I am not sure that I have any problem with photographic or video evidence for speeding, red lights or other minor offenses. Certainly technology does introduce reasonable doubt. Maybe my legal readers can comment on the pros and cons of these systems.
