The picture is of high enough resolution to identify the
driver. Theory is that if you own the car you are responsible.
They send you the ticket. If you rat on whoever was driving,
then they throw the ticket at them.

	I'm not sure what the legalisms are here. I suppose that
since a "crime" was committed, and you have knowledge, you can
be considered a witness and forced to answer questions. The easiest
way to do this, of course, it to send YOU a ticket.

	This is what the officials here have been saying. I have my
doubts. An honest-to-goodness lawyers (pardon the oxymoron) out
there who can tell us if they can get away with this sort of thing?
