"all they need to do is find the angle that gives them a pic of the driver and they're back in business."

That might answer the question of "rebutable presumption" up to a point. The problem is that unlike a traffic stop, you don't get your day in court where you might argue that: "it was my cousin. S/he looks just like me! No really!!!"

The justices were also saying that MN has a law that requires uniformity of traffic ordinances. And if other cities don't have these things, it ain't uniform. That might not apply in other states. But having a sharper lens or different angle won't change the uniformity issue.
