You're correct that driving is not protected under the constitution and that was not the point I was trying to make, but due process is protected and not being able to fight a ticket is wrong. There are situations and instances that cameras do not catch. You can show me a picture but I can tell you a hundred different stories as to how that picture came to be. As soon as the human element is taken out of our judicial system that goes against the very fiber of what our judicial system is supposed to be. We are supposed to have the option be tried by a jury of our peers and last I checked a camera doesn't own a home in my neighborhood. The word of law abiding tax paying citizen should be worth something.

I also have a problem with random roadblocks and "safety checks" but that is for another thread. Missouri: Police Roadblock Harassment Caught on Tape
