Fine! If that's the way they want to write the bill, then let it stand on its own merit. This business of attaching riders to other bills, THAT's the real danger in the system. Every law that passed as a rider on another bill should be repealed and re-voted upon as a stand-alone bill.

The search bar/URL address bar split permits some level of privacy as what's entered on the URL bar isn't sent to a search engine, and what's placed in the search bar is, in real time.

Dear NAME

Your accuser is the state, who will be represented. The camera is not your accuser, but merely a tool for gathering evidence. The image of your license plate on the photo is considered sufficient evidence to convict, and you were presented with that evidence when you received your notification of offence. While your desire to save the taxpayers money is commendable, it is best served by selecting the NO CONTEST option and paying the indicated fine.

Sincerely
Records Officer B. Finney.
