Those flock cameras could be used to infer speeding based on implausible times between cameras based on distance and speed limits. They won’t do it because then most people would be against them. I could see them selling that information to insurance companies though.
It was a long battle here in Texas that went all the way to the Texas Supreme Court. I think the legal claim was that we have a right to face our accuser and a camera can not take the stand or testify.
Poor writing from the people pushing it then. Usually they get around that with weasel words making it a civil fine rather than anything with legal merit.
Among the consequences are a few outliers racking up tens of thousands in fines for repeat offenses but where there is no legal justification for arresting them or taking their license
