Traffic Tickets have always been guilty until proven innocent. Nothing new about that.
Tell me one other court where a police officer can testify alone ,his word against yours and you are guilty.
These aren't traffic tickets. They're "administrative fees".
That's how the municipalities that have these vile things circumvent due process.

Good point, but in the case of these tickets, they still have to present the evidence against you. The testimony in some cases mentioned in this thread are picures of a car that is not the persons who received the ticket. If it is not your car, they don't have evidence "beyond a reasonable doubt".
Imagine you saying, officer, my license plate is on my 98 buick but this is a photo of a 2006 Hummer II. And the judge says, "Nope, looks like a buick to me". ;)
