Im surprised that none of the readers here picked up on this point.
Its an automatically generated ticket, produced by a machine, attached to a vehicle, sent to the vehicles owner, with the presumption of guilt, all done by a third-party,
All done by a third-party that gets a cut of the proceeds.
People should be out raged.
Im guessing that they keep the price tag of the ticket slow, so that people arent out raged, and Out-of-staters like myself just plead guilty and pay them.
It wouldnt surprise me if the AI thats running the camera looks for out-of-state plates intentionally.
Better get used to it.
