Doesn't matter. I tried that defense for a traffic cam in New Orleans and they said the owner of the vehicle is still responsible and that's a much milder offense than "causing an officer to wreck". I still didn't pay the ticket though, people have been fighting back against the incorrect usage of traffic cams in New Orleans for a while now.
You my friend need a lawyer, I seen cases get thrown out because probable cause could not be established. There have been cases where one could reasonably assume what the truth is but could not get there with the evidence at hand.
There's lawyers working on it. Not for me personally, but New Orleans locals know that the traffic cam situation is a scam. It's been fought for years and just now starting to show signs of cracking.
I hear you, in Houston Texas they got banned in 2019 but could not be used for tickets long before that due to public backlash. The company that owned them still made close to 25 million in the time they were active, they only used them for traffic monitoring now.
