From here. I'm sure, however, that every other speeding/red light/bullshit traffic camera in the U.S. is 100% reliable and has never made a mistake while fleecing drivers for cash the gov't is still pissed they can't legally steal.
A Baltimore lawyer issued a speed camera ticket despite his vehicle being stationary missed his chance to argue his case when the city asked that a Baltimore District Court judge dismiss the case Friday.

Daniel Doty, the driver, urged the judge to view the video of the alleged violation and award him costs for the time taken to fight the ticket, but she declined to do so.

"It's really outside the purview of the court," District Court Judge Melissa K. Copeland said.

Even if your car isn't moving, if it gets a speeding ticket, I guess you're required to sacrifice your time to make good on other people's incompetency.
