On many traffic lights and highways, states and police departments have installed cameras to determine if a motorist is driving faster than the posted speed limit, or if they have run a red light. Not only are these cameras inaccurate and unable to determine the true offender, it is a sixth amendment issue. The sixth amendment states "...the accused shall enjoy the right to ... to be confronted with the witnesses against him; ..." A motorist accused of speeding or running a red light cannot confront their accuser or be confronted by their accuser (a camera). If human witnesses are not present to witness the crime (i.e. a police officer), the motorist should not be subject to the legal system for their infraction.
