Yes, that is the point. They had to get cleared. It took time and effort despite the fact that they were totally innocent. They could have lost out on pay because they had to take unpaid time off to deal with this.
While I hate photo enforcement as much as the next guy, this is a piss poor argument against it. Have you never been fucked over by a lying cop? I have. Camera tickets are way easier to fight.
Sure. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying, with the right judge, you have a better chance fighting a red light ticket with a cop than you do with a photo which “proves” you did it. Even if it’s a small chance, it’s still a better chance.

Why should that have to be the case ever?
What do you think happens when a cop makes a mistake, which is more likely to happen than an automated camera?
When a cop makes a mistake, they don’t have a photo that “proves” it isn’t a mistake. So you at least have a better chance with the right judge.
