7. It will depend on the resolution of the camera, and the ability of technology to
face print the individual behind the wheel. You may be able to say "Oh, gee, it was my COUSIN" and then the next question is "Who is your cousin?" and you give the name, and they pull up cousin's license photo, do a faceprint comparison on it, and say "Uh, no--it was YOU."

Not to poop in the punch, but all this ruling does, if this ticketing effort is a cash cow, is force the authorities to go to better tech to achieve their results. They'll have to have the facial equivalent of your fingerprints at the crime scene.

They've already got a faceprint system in place in the UK--they use it check people out coming into football stadiums to weed out known thugs. They also use it on the street to pick up warrant evaders.
