It's strict liability, so it's quite a barrier to be found not guilty. I've been driving since I was 12 years old and 50+ years later I've still not got a fine, penalty point or speeding ticket to my name, and I certainly don't think I'm a good or slow driver.

As for the millions of cameras: unless someone actually looks at the cameras then it's piling up temporary data 99% of which gets deleted unviewed.. If there is a murder then probably the police will take a look but the number of cameras now is self defeating : too many images, not enough resources to do anything with it.
