If the car's number plate is dirty or otherwise obscured, should all owners of a similar make and colour of car be prosecuted because they don't know who was driving? When a car is stolen is the legal owner of the car responsible for anything that is done with that car while it is stolen?
If you're caught by a speed camera there is a photo that will often show the driver's face. Proving guilt should always be a requirement before punishing anyone. If you can't prove who is guilty you obviously have no evidence.
