California is snatching cars with less evidence, so due process is of little protection if the government sets it up one way or the other.
Stoplight cameras. They can't prove who was driving the car beyond the shadow of a doubt, but that won't stop them from impounding your car, if the fine isn't paid, or taking points off you license, now will it? But, you are fully expected to be guilty of it or you will suffer some repercussion even though it is in blatant violation of old standing legal fundamentals.
