Your problem with claiming that the 6th amendment to the Constitution prevents you from being prosecuted is that you're in Texas, and the legislature in Texas specifically made red-light cameras a CIVIL complaint, and not a criminal complaint, which is where the 6th amendment would come in to play. Maryland sounds like they do as a low-grade criminal offense, just like Texas, when they issue you a traffic ticket from a cop.RoyGBiv wrote:The Sixth Amendment.?jmra wrote:Idk, but why don't you just pay it?

In Texas, they will come after you civily - by preventing your re-registration of your vehicle, in some counties of the state (Tarrant county, where I live, is one of those - got to watch a young 20-ish guy be told he couldn't re-register his car because of an outstanding red-light ticket, then cause a ruckuss in the northwest sub-courthouse, and then get himself hauled away by the Tarrant County Sherrif's Office for disorderly conduct and assault by contact - now THAT would get your CHL cancelled). They can also do things that will wind up on your credit report, since it is a civil fine, and not a criminal offense.
