"It really is an attack on our rights as citizens to live in a democracy, where innocent until proven guilty is supposedly an ideology upheld by the court systems".

Firstly in relation to your topic...what a ridiculous statement, the fact that you get a picture in the mail actually should indicate to you that you are in fact guilty, and unless you were to dispute the accuracy of every camera operating in the country, and all the independent or otherwise bodies set up to administer the accuracy of these cameras,then I'm guessing this ideology you talk of is pretty well upheld by the courts.

Secondly ,don't talk about a democracy if you are going to cite it in terms of a very limited (dare I say vested) interest forum group. In a democracy there are a lot more stakeholders than motorists who actually get caught and fined for breaking the law. In the "democracy" that I live in ,the issue of being found guilty of exceeding a speed "limit" and proven to have done so does not constitute an overwhelming concern to the majority of people. It is the law, and something that most seem happy enough to accept. (before the inevitable rant comes back about being a lacky to the govco,or some other such apologist to whomever...I do understand the concept of the lowest common denominator)
