What incentive does the person reviewing the footage have to admit to a false positive (including scenarios where it's by accident)? That's a very real concern given that it's been contracted out to a private firm. What's it to them that your toddler chucked a PET bottle out the window or some plastic was blown loose out the window?

I'd expect it to run like current traffic cameras (at least, the ones in my locality). Fully automatic, you get a ticket in the mail, nobody ever reviews it for accuracy, unless you contest it. Then they usually drop it, though it could end up in traffic court for a judge to look at. Also, our automated ticketing systems generally only use fines as punishment, there's some kind of state law that says you cannot be personally assigned a moving violation unless you were stopped by an actual cop in real time.

It's your responsibility to ensure that you and your passengers aren't letting trash out of the vehicle.

There is no exception in the littering laws for: "my car is so messy I didn't notice trash getting sucked out the window I opened."

A wasp made its way into my car on the highway -- I opened the window to let it out, but the napkins in my cup holder made a break for it, as well.
