I don't know about every area but they were heavily debated and eventually outlawed where I live.

they are the accuser.

The issue is, that accuser would need to go to the court date for every ticket they issue and face their accuser.

It's not practical. The municipalities that decide to do this could decide to keep doing it, and just not have the accuser show up, and thus get every ticket that is contested automatically dismissed.

At least that's my understanding.

In my district, if you bring it to court, you'll generally get off because the cop doesn't show up.

I think part of the argument against them is that in some cases it's a private company maintaining the cameras and reviewing the photos?
