Police using CCTV to charge ppl now??

[scotty_buttons]

So...
Apparently police called my parents HOME number and told my mom today that they caught her on CCTV driving down a one way street..
and well, she got charged.
Details still unclear as to how exactly she got 'charged.'

Since when they start using CCTV to charge ppl!??

[Strugglerzinc]

Sounds fishy. Did they deliver the ticket? RS may be able to say if this legit.

[scotty_buttons]

^ It is. Mom admitted she did commit the offense on the said date though.
They gonna go to the courthouse to see if there really is a summons for her and to find out more tomorrow.

[DVSTT]

That sound like a scam.

[JaiTech]

Actually heard a few people got charged like this

[buckredan]

interesting.... *subscribes....

[Morpheus]

But why though? Shouldn't we be obeying the law all along?

We get upset when police broadcast too many details on their intended next move. "They alerting the bandits so they could hide their weapons/narcotics!"

I guess it is a norm to announce those strategies for "minor infractions" though......

What about Wrightson rd camera for breaking light and also the speed camera by El Socorro?

[pugboy]

Calling somebody to say they charged will never stand up in court just so.

[j.o.e]

How /where did they get her number ?

Please tell us more. I'm intrigued.

[2NR Smurf]

I guess it coming sooner or later. Nobody else notice these white street cameras literally everywhere now?

[pugboy]

unless laws have changed, lets not be ignorant of simple procedures

the law of a summons is it is a piece of paper stating the charge and the person serving it must make sure it physically touches the person whom it should be served on
they don't have to hand it to them just be in front of them, touch them with it and mumble something
can drop it on the ground after, but once contact made it is considered served.

there are no laws saying once you got contacted by phone you are hereby served with the summons to answer a charge in court.
How does the court/law/police know that who answered the phone is the correct person ?
So lets not be stupid.

Who did they charge by checking the camera footage ?
The only person they could officially trace would be the owner of the car based on the plate,

Unless there is a database of pictures of all drivers and they have a computer program to do face identification
like facebook/google, but surely there are no laws on this or using some third party computer to do this reliably and standup in court to say Mr X was driving the car based on our national ID picture database, lol
Afaik no such program exists which would standup in court.

Can the owner of a car be charged if someone else driving the car broke a traffic law with the said car ?
Suppose it is a company owned car ?
These are basic questions to ask first before saying cctv could charge people.

If any laws to enforce by cctv were changed there would have been massive media coverage similar to the laser gun introduction

[TurboSingh12]

Tell them wrong number.Talk done!

What you lol at?

They been collecting info awhile now. What you think all those routine road blocks about and what you think happens to the info they scribble down from your documents? I think traffic wardens collect as well.

Had small favors done where plates and driver info were pulled from the database already.

[Team Loco]

Exactly

[acesinghit]

[X-Axis]

[infinite_RPM]

I feel is bs.. Somebody probably get fed up/annoyed of OP mom driving down the one way which I assume is near her home, called her and told her this crap to scare her..

[biggs50]

This is very good news. It means that the cameras are in use and much good can come out it.
