basically if you take a photo of the violation it will go to the department that issues citations and it will be evaluated to determine if one should be sent. Way more scrutiny than the automated camera ones.

You mean they'll check to see who the car belong to, and if they're one of the people that is above the law.

I would trust the output of an automated system (excluding AI) more than the output of a human, so the difference in scrutiny makes sense. Although I'm not sure how good the automated system is, so I can't say definitively that's the case.

I don't think anything like traffic tickets or such should be 100% automated. I don't mind an automated filtering mechanism but I think every citation should be written out and signed by someone with all the required trainings and such and they should have viewed and verified that in their opinion a violation occured.

Oh for sure needs a human in the loop. I was just thinking of why this system would have more scrutiny by default.
