They don’t do that with speeding tickets, why would that apply here?
Moving violations are different than parking. It’s why it’s usually different agencies who do them, and parking don’t carry guns.
Here if you run a red light on camera ticket is issued to owner
So automatic speed cameras know who is driving the car to issue the fine to the correct person?
They can’t prove who’s driving, so who gets the demerits? So in the US, those get thrown out all the time.
In Canada, no demerits, goes to the registered owner, they can fight their friends for lending it out.
BC has a points system that effects your insurance premiums if you collect so many in a year period. Tickets get sent via mail and charges to owner, if it was camera feed capture
I may have missed the part about it being in the US. I always associate the guardian with ik stories.
I mean… dude…
