Reply to comment by mikk0384 in Automated enforcement of water conservation rules in Fresno, California led to a decrease in summer water use and violations of conservation rules (relative to households subject to in-person inspections). This program massively increased consumer complaints, ultimately causing its cancellation. by smurfyjenkins

They won't pursue someone else. They have bigger issues to deal with. It's either your ticket or it's not. But they send it to whoever is on file. Most of the time on the interstate cameras they are too far away to get a driver picture. So if you fight it, chances are you're going to win.

This whole chain is so ridiculous. In Germany as owner of a car you have to either pay the fine yourself or tell them who drove the car. Then they get the ticket sent to them. You can refuse both and maybe escape the fine. But then you can get ordered to keep a log of the drivers of the car.

I once received a ticket and claimed that I drove that day. I got a summons to the police station to make my statement since the picture evidence didn’t match to me being the driver. Because my wife borrowed my car that day and you could see it was a woman and not a man driving.
