"I saw you using your cell phone...".... or "Your cellphone is in the cupholder so I think you are likely to use it"... can't dispute those massive tickets either.
How about Proceeds of Crime too? Super dangerous legislation allowing them to just decide to take possession of your vehicles or otherwise and then leaving it up to you to battle in court to prove your innocence.
Not affording an opportunity to dispute or challenge the discretionary ruling of any authority figure is a serious reduction of civil liberties.
