about a guy wearing a monkey mask to combat traffic cams. If traffic cameras are pissing you off get a bunch of people in your town to wear the same mask.

Don't traffic cams identify people by their car's license plate?

Most cameras take 2 pictures, driver and plates. If your in a monkey mask, when it gets to court you can say it wasn't you. They have to prove you were driving, that you were speeding, not that your car was speeding. I hear they are working to change this to charge who ever the vehicle is registered to, but for now they still have to prove that you were the one speeding.

In Illinois that is already the law. It is Unconstitutional according to Illinois's own laws, but right now, the law states that the cameras can't take pictures of the person's face, but the person the car is registered to gets the ticket. Even if you weren't driving, it's still your fault until you can prove that it wasn't you driving. Good old guilty until proven innocent.
