Imagine going into court and arguing that your ticket is not valid because the radar gun didn't have the right algorithm to keep the picture takend from being altered. It worked in Australia.
There's a bit of politics here, in that there have been batches of speed cameras which have been proven to be throwing out false reports after millions had been recouped from the cameras over years. Lots of problems in 'proving' those cases, for the defence. Authorities dodged and weaved. The lawyer in the case cited, on television, brought up the relevant point that if they are to found a prosecution upon the infallibility of a system, then they should have to prove its infalibility. Which they couldn't.
