Good point. It shouldn’t take police involvement at the scene — what is on the Ion’s video recording should be enough to get a conviction.
But probably not. Some people have this weird idea that car owners shouldn’t be responsible for their vehicles, and use that as an argument against red light or speed cameras — “how can you convict me of running a red when you can’t even prove it was me driving the vehicle?”. To which the response should be that they can either collect the fine from the person who was driving, or report the vehicle stolen.
