Court Bans Use of 'AI-Enhanced' Video Evidence Because That's Not How AI Works (gizmodo.com)

A judge in Washington state has blocked video evidence that’s been “AI-enhanced” from being submitted in a triple murder trial. And that’s a good thing, given the fact that too many people seem to think applying an AI filter can give them access to secret visual data.

You can safely ignore those tickets and the police won’t do anything

Wait what? No.

It's entirely possible if you ignore the ticket, a human might review it and find there's insufficient evidence. But if, for example, you ran a red light and they have a photo that shows your number plate and your face... then you don't want to ignore that ticket. And they generally take multiple photos, so even if the one you received on the ticket doesn't identify you, that doesn't mean you're safe.

When automated infringement systems were brand new the cameras were low quality / poorly installed / didn't gather evidence necessary to win a court challenge... getting tickets overturned was so easy they didn't even bother taking it to court. But it's not that easy now, they have picked up their game and are continuing to improve the technology.

Also - if you claim someone else was driving your car, and then they prove in court that you were driving... congratulations, your slap on the wrist fine is now a much more serious matter.
