Speeding camera ticket in Ohio? - Toyota Yaris Forums

Well my from understanding, Cleveland (maybe all of Ohio?) has cameras that ONLY shoot the rear of the car. They can't tell who is driving. I think that is main reason for photo tickets being issued are to the owner of the car and are not criminal offenses but civil offenses. They can't tell who's driving the car, they just know that the car was speeding. I guess it's like a parking ticket...they don't know who parked the car in the wrong place or time, they just know that it's wrong. At least that's how it was explained to me on the phone before. That's why the tickets are just a pay it and it doesn't go on your record or drivers license.

If you were to go to court, you have the right to face your accuser. Pictures can come to court but the eyewitness (the camera) can't. It's stuck on the corner of some street. That's why it can only go as far as the cameras pictures I guess, beyond that, they can't pin it to any one person...just the car owner.
