A person has to be present for all of those things - at least, if you want them to stand up to even the most casual challenge in a court of law.

The Sixth Amendment to the US Constitution requires that to be the case: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Confrontation_Clause

Is a person present with automated tolling?

And wrt court challenge, I mean, the photographic evidence is right there, car running red light, can't be more clear. Why would it be dismissed?

And Why does every crime need witness? Plenty of prosecutions on photographic or forensic 3videnc3 alone.

Also, is traffic violation a crime (is it, genuinely asking (?))

Tbh, this often feel like people rummaging around the couch cushions for reasons (not saying you, link much appreciated, til)
