I said in my original post I thought he was an ass for doing this.
I am not saying I agree with what he did by any means, or that I will do the same thing myself. I have never recieved a ticket from a camera - even though they are in almost every major intersection where I am in NC.
I have not seen this person take this action in court personally - I am just going by what they said. This person was a police officer in Ohio, and "retired" due to injury on the job.
I was mearly stating what one person I knew did to get out of a ticket from a camera - never said I agreed with it, but thanks for the personal attack anyway.
I agree with you. As he told me - his right to face his accuser - meaning that the camera had to show up to court.
Dumb IMHO, but still the way the law is stated. I am sure there are plenty of other literal translations of the law that can be obscured like this one.
I have a friend that has gotten out of each of his tickets from cameras. When he shows up to court - as his right - he asks to face his accuser. The court is unable to do this - so case is dismissed.
He is a former member of law enforcement and knew the loop hole...and subsequently abused it.
I do not know if he is still doing this, but I do remember him doing this many times over...I think more just to prove a point to the courts, and to be an ass
