Isn't the accuser in that case the police or whoever is in charge of those cameras?

If it were a cop pulling you over and writing a ticket, sure. It would be that cop. They can show up in court and stand as a witness for you to cross-examine. But if the entire system is automated, which specific cop is the accuser?

Is the system completely automated in the US? We still have people from that department going through each picture, checking if there is indeed a violation. That person will then type out your license plate and a letter is sent to you.

If you pay, it's done. If you don't pay you will have to show up to court and make your case, while they will show up with that picture and date/time as proof.

The accuser in that case is the person that read the license plate from the picture.
