These systems often fail some of our rights tests. For example, it’s hard to “face your accuser” when it’s a camera. I believe speed cams failed for similar reasons in Utah. I do see red light cams in Chicago. I wonder if that’s because they are more politically accepted there. I’m not sure.

Maybe I’m wrong about why they went away in Utah. This resource says… [1]

> In Utah, the legislature has placed so many restrictions on the use of photo radar -- specifically, banning outsourcing of the ticketing process to private, for-profit companies -- that no city uses speed cameras. This serves as an "effective ban" on photo enforcement.

There are reports of them being unconstitutional but they might not be credible.[2]
