The system does not work if intrusive barriers are put in the way of
otherwise law-abiding citizens.

I know this doesn't apply to you, but I make many times more in a day
than what a traffic ticket would cost. That's the whole point of
giving relatively-inexpensive tickets.

There shouldn't be a camera. There should be an officer who
understands the mitigating circumstances (e.g. an officer is behind
you and wants you to get out of his or her way) giving out tickets.
