photoenforced traffic lights

They should be unconstitutional because of due process.

The camera gets the license plate, not a positive ID of the driver. The ticket goes to the driver, not the car. There's no due process. You need a cop at the light manually pulling people over.

In MD these tickets do NOT constitute a moving violation. No points. Just a fine like a parking ticket. The party that the car's registered to is responsible. If you let a friend borrow your car and they run a red light YOU will get the ticket and have to pay for it. That's the way it works here in MD.

Yeah, but you could sign an affadavit attesting to the fact that someone else was driving your car at the time, and name that person, and get out of the ticket, if I remember correctly.

I've always wondered about the accuser aspect, as well. Nobody is accusing you of this crime...just a machine.
