[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 853751, member: 52972"] JD Boxes, It's not the right to face a witness, it's the right to face your accuser. And Yes, I agree that we have the right to face our accusers but that accuser does not have to be a witness. When the Constitution was written, they did not have cameras, DNA testing, fingerprints, or any of the scientific technology we have now. Many crimes are comitted without witnesses and yet the criminals were proven guilty beyond a shadow of a doubt. Most lawyers and procecutors will tell you that Eye witness testomony is some of the most inaccuarate kind of evidence and often totally wrong. Cameras, and DNA don't lie and don't have any bias, as long as that evidence was processed correctly and not tampered with. In the OJ Simpson case, he beat the DNA evidence because his lawyers put a sliver of doubt that the police may have planted OJ's DNA and in the minds of an already Pro-OJ jury it was enough to get him aquitted. Having said that, i think his robber conviction in Las Vegas was a set up, since it's not very often that your co-conspiritor happens to be taping the crime ??? It's pretty hard to beat photo graphic evidence that you ran a red light, and you will be confronting your accuser who will be the prosecutor and his evidence will be the photos from the camera. If you can prove that the camera malfunctioned, you can probably beat the ticket. My opinion of most traffic laws is that they are intended to make our roads saver. The fines imposed for traffic violations do not do anything to promote safety and serve only as a big source of revenue for the cities and states. I think simply charging and administrative fee of $40-$50 and making that person attend defensive driving classes everytime they get a ticket would do more to improve safety and get drivers to obey the traffic laws. Lets face it, if you have a lot of money, paying fines means nothing. But if you have to sit in class for 8 hours, with a bunch of other idiots, now that's punishment to everybody..:wacko::wacko::wacko: ...Rich [/QUOTE]
