You mean robots giving citations to cars (not people) is unconstitutional?

“Hey, Mr. Reliant K-Car, not so fast.”
Well, it was only a matter of time until this scam hit the fan. The facts remain, according to state law it is legal to make a right turn on a red light, as long as you stop and yield. City ordinance does not trump state law. And secondly, citations should be handed to ACTUAL people by an ACTUAL police officer. Do I think people who run redlights are jerkoffs? Sure. But the ACTUAL people who are running the lights are the ones that should get the ticket, and it should be an ACTUAL traffic offense, not some small claims court bullshit;
Democrat Peggy Gibson introduced the South Dakota bill after a constituent received a ticket that didn’t belong to her. That ticket was issued for an illegal right turn in August by the driver of a four-door sedan.
The $86 ticket was delivered to Kimberly Greer of Huron. Greer was surprised to see her name on a picture of the offending vehicle.
“I haven’t owned a car since 2000,” Greer said. “I have a Ford F-150 and a Ford Ranger.”
Sioux Falls officials told Greer she would need to contest the ticket to a Sioux Falls hearing officer. The car was hers, they said.
“I said, ‘If this is my car, I want to report it stolen,’ ” she said.
This is what I have been saying all along. Are we gonna let ‘Robots’ be law enforcement officers or are we gonna let ACTUAL trained officers determine when traffic offenses take place? I have also argued it would be cheaper to have an officer sit in a lawn chair at the intersection 24/7 then to have these silly cameras. Piss and moan all you want about how the cameras have been good thing, but last I checked we don’t live in freaking communist China, and we shouldn’t be treated as such.
