When I worked in the photography lab at my local police HQ in the UK (I was a civilian) we used to process red light camera film. If someone wanted to fight the ticket, I had to go to court for the afternoon and basically testify that I was a part of the chain from the camera to film processing. The film was 35mm and they were able to show a positive image on a large TV screen from the negative with some video equipment. It was all BS but I got the afternoon off work and saw some funny cases being heard <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
Anyhow, on one occasion the story was that in the next case a guy who got a red light ticket claimed his car had been stolen and so it wasn't him. Well, in he comes featuring an afro <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> When asked if he ran the red light he repeated 'no, my car was stolen' <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> So they switch on the large TV showing the image of his car with all 4 wheels over the line and surprise, surprise there's a dude with an afro in the drivers seat <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" />
He paid the ticket and court costs <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> That was the best one <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
