I've heard of this system in Europe (Germany?) and somebody told me that it
became unpopular with government officials and other important people because
the ticket and picture came in the mail while the guy was at work and his
wife opened it and saw the picture of the car, plate, speed, husband, and
*the other woman* in the car with him. I thought, "this guy is not gonna get
the welcome he is expecting when he gets home."
