What amazes me is we live in 2014, yet the law lags so far behind, that it only takes an iq of perhaps 90 or 100 to beat outdated laws.

Yes. If you are a diplomat, work for an embassy, work for the city (district), are friends with anyone who works for the city, or make the appropriate payment to someone who works for the city, you have an easy way to get out of a camera ticket. Anyone else? Pay up, then pay up again. Innocence is no excuse for not paying.
