Now, the cameras are in Maryland and people there have figured a way to avoid tickets from the cameras and make unwitting victims. They print copies of the victim's license plate on shiny paper, attach the copies to their own cars over their own license plates and, then, they flaunt the speed and red light laws. The victim gets sent the ticket because, in most cases, the government doesn't match the license plate number to the make and model of the vehicle. Even when it does, many times vigilantes have used the license plate from same type and color of vehicle as their own.
You don't have to participate in this scam to benefit from it should you get a camera ticket. Criminal law requires that the government prove the criminal infraction beyond a reasonable doubt. If, due to these scams, a reasonable doubt can be raised regarding whether it was you or your vehicle that committed the traffic violation, the Court should find that the infraction is not proven and dismiss the ticket.
