Anyone thing insurance companies are your friend still? Or that they are in business to look out for your best interests?

Wake up.

And as you can see, there is precedent for his escaping the law too . . .

I assume precedent shields him if someone is photographed wearing a dog mask.

What Margarita and Tim in SF said.

Anywhere one has to plead guilty or not guilty, the prosecution carries the burden on each and every issue necessary to prove a case beyond a reasonable doubt.

A defendant need not put on any case at all, or can put on a case.

Either way, the prosecution has the burden and if they do not know who they are prosecuting (“who dunnit”), end of case.

The “fair” or not fair is a red herring, canard, straw man in our jurisprudence. Our jury system is based on the ideology that power corrupts, and the government is in power.

Therefore to protect rights down through time the burden is on the government, and the decision of guilt or innocence is on the people (symbolized by the jury).

This is true in nearly every case that makes it up to the appellate court. However, filing an appeal is an expensive and time-intensive process to fight a $300 ticket. That’s why more than 99% of ticketed motorists simply give up and send in the check.

Here are some articles on the automated enforcement sham that’s being sold to citizens under the cover of “safety” :

Always thoroughly clean the steering wheel after any monkey borrows your car.

Liability for accidents is different. It’s civil liability, and the owner’s (limited) vicarious liability is based on the premise that it’s the owner’s responsibility for maintaining insurance on the car.

I tend to agree with the monkey man. Radar speed traps are a scourge. The legal system is already enough of a heartless, brainless meat grinder; law enforcement requires discretion.

Don’t forget to tip your waiter.

Drive on, Monkey Man!

In all fairness do you still think that you would get the same result today?

If this same car was in an accident presuming you are not somehow responsible. Courts have extended the liability for this use, if the use was legitimate to begin with.

I do not know California Law but is it not more Plaintiff friendly?

I challenged on the ground that on of the requirements on the prosecution was to know who was being charged. This robo-ticket system attempted to shift the burden from the prosecution to the accused, and thereby violated several constitutional principles.

I also said it evinced a bias toward property owners who were left to bear the punishment for the wrongs of others, and argued that ownership of property is not punishable except in communist zones.

The trial court was unamused but the appellate court dismissed the case and in no uncertain terms told the prosecution not to bother to retry the case because they had no admissible evidence.
