If you think California has a problem, it gets worse.
payonlineticket is a commercial website operated by speedsafe.llc. This is where communities from coast to cost can pay their ticket(s) online. They also uploads driver's information where people can pay their ticket(s) online and view any redlight violations before giving notice to the driver and before the driver appears in court. When the taxes or fines are paid to safespeed, the community gets a percentage or cut. I am unsure if the court sold the videos to safespeed. In that case, a misuse of purchased driver's information is incurred.
idoc.state.il.us/subsections/search/default.asp is an Illinois owned website where the state uploads convict information for public safety and as a resource for families wishing to contact their loved ones.
The sex offender database is Illinois owned and information is uploaded for public safety and the organization where sex offenders are ordered to register.(sorry no link)
The difference is that the sex offenders and convicted felons currently in the database were given due process and convicted, and didn't have pretrial information uploaded to the world wide web by the community. These sites are for public safety and as a resource for the community. And the payonlineticket.com violation videos are part of the commerce stream and not as a public safety service.
My plans are to ask for a continuance to allow the community and safespeed.llc to send me a dvd of the video so that I may view it in my lawyer's office. I firmly believe the driver has a right for the courts to keep secure and protected information off the internet until the time it is used for public safety purposes.
I've heard that the court shows the video for the defendant. Unfortunately, it's a copy of the video online, and may be different than the secure and protected court copy. Unless they view it from the internet, it's a completely different piece of information they posted online.
I will not watch the video online or in the presence of a community judge even after the video is screened by the lawyers.
As a privacy complaint, drivers should be given the opportunity to watch the violation video without the number of page views being recorded.
My complaint isn't with the red light camera or the community's need for more money. It's about the complete disregard for the fair process guarenteed by the Constitution. Any lawyer should be able to find the violation video and watch it without instruction.
If God wanted the car to stop at the red light, he would have miracled the car to stop at the red light.
Is it 3 copies. 1 for the judge. 1 for each defendant. And one for the plaintiff. Nevermind. I'll find that info easy enough.
