I live in Minneapolis, MN. Here we had traffic cameras that were taking pictures of drivers as they sped through red lights. It was challenged in court and suspended as it was deemed unconstitutional on the grounds that the camera cannot prove that the owner of the vehicle was driving it and, under law, you can only ticket drivers. So the whole law was bounced and now those that got tickets and paid are now demanding refunds.
I imagine this will have the same or similar outcome. At least it wastes a lot of tax-payer money though!
here in singapore, buses with camera has been here since a few years ago. unlike minneapolis, unless the owner of the car can provide details of the driver of his car, the owner is always given the ticket. then again, singapore didnt even announce camera equiped buses. they just install silently. her in is, it's called dictatorship.
Frankly, I think that you should be responsible for your vehicle, regardless of who is driving it. You know what, you are the one who has 'supposedly' lent it out to someone else and you should be responsible (up to a point) for how it is driven. If a friend/family member asks to borrow your car and they aren't a responsible driver, then don't lend it to them.
“An engineer explained to us that hundreds of ear impressions were gathered in the name of research, and while each one obviously boasted its own unique shape and size, one single characteristic remained uniform across the board: the entrance into the ear canal is not a perfect circle, it's an oval.”

California has been using red light cameras for a while now, sorry.
