Couldn't you be accused by a prosecutor based on video evidence?

I get that having some private company collect fines directly would be bad, but couldn't they solve that with a simple manual review process by law enforcement?

In most area's of the US these traffic camera's are owned, operated, and controlled by a private company who use a revenue share model with the local city.

They are not operated by the police dept, nor does anyone in law enforcement review them.

The issue I've seen in most of these cases is that they have a difficult time proving who was in control of the vehicle at the time. The ticket is issued to the registered owner of the vehicle instead of the driver. So even if the prosecutor is the accuser based off video, that video evidence often isn't enough to determine who was the offender.

Maybe we should stop worrying about it and just fine the car owner. If implied consent laws are legal surely agreeing to be responsible for your own vehicle on public roads would also be permissible under the constitution.

Also, the systems in place for toll road entrances seem to be doing a good enough job. Why can't the same thing be implemented for traffic cameras?
