Many jurisdictions tried to introduce speed trap cameras decades ago. But they failed to gain wide acceptance mainly due to public outrage. Hopefully, the LAPD will seek a compromise between utility and public image.

I always wondered if any tickets got challenged on constitutional grounds that there exists on human accuser. A machine cannot testify in court.
Nah. "I, Officer So-and-So, have reviewed the footage and it shows a violation of <statute>."

No different than reporting a blood alcohol content reading off a machine, really.
