An increasing number of jurisdictions are utilizing cameras to catch speeding drivers. High-tech camera systems are posted in zones where drivers are likely to speed. If the system senses that you are exceeding the speed limit, it will automatically take photographs of your vehicle. These photographs will then be matched with your state's department of motor vehicle database in order to positively identify you and/or your vehicle. A speeding ticket citation is then mailed to your home address, and you must appear in court in order to contest that citation. Undoubtedly, a photograph taken of your vehicle while speeding is strong evidence of your guilt. However, there are legitimate reasons to contest the use of a speeding ticket photo system. Typically, a private company administers the system and makes the match between the department of motor vehicles' database and your vehicle. If the photo is grainy or fuzzy in any way, mistakes can be made with regard to license plate numbers and vehicle identifications. Therefore, it may be worth exploring whether a speeding ticket photo is truly evidence of your guilt.
