To ticket a speeder in the USA, you need to know the driver. A camera can only pick up the vehicle/registration. I remember California's red light camera experiment like 10 years back - everyone quickly realized they never even needed to pay the ticket or show up to court, and for those who did show up to court - just claim they weren't the driver.
Tickets were dropped in the mail. If you weren't served in person, you could just throw them out. Never received it, wasn't me driving.
Drivers would also see the camera and place the sun visor down as they approach the camera. Can't be ticketed if they can't prove who it is.
I wouldn't mind that here. I go the speed limit on the interstate (70) and morons are passing me like I have my damn car in reverse. It's getting scary. Someone needs to shut low IQ drivers down.

Not how it works. Many a yellow boot on cars have been levied out for the same premise. If you are the owner, you are responsible when it comes to infractions unless you file a police report saying it was stolen.

And there will probably be more accidents once people realize they are in a camera ticket zone slowing down all the sudden.
Sophistry. You can use the same argument against having police pull people over for a speeding violation; it causes passing vehicles to slow down to watch the proceedings. Handling it indirectly through cameras is therefore safer.
Wait, what? Isn’t this racist or something? Can one of our forum Democrats please rush to this thread to help us to understand the Democrat perspective? Bonus points if you incorporate the phrase “black and brown” or the word “disproportionate/disproportionately.” Thanks!

When they had these red light cameras in multiple cities across TX, the ticket was like a parking ticket. So, whoever's name was on the registration would have to pay it.

That is indeed exactly how it worked.
The city sends the ticket in the regular mail. They cannot prove you received it, so they cannot go forward with booting your car.
When you receive a ticket from a real police officer, they have you sign the ticket as proof you received it. There's no proof of receipt with a photo ticket.
I've received several in the past; I just threw them out. Nothing ever happened.
