this is actually fascinating. i can't believe they didn't just mail a ticket to the owner!
when i was 18 and borrowing my dad's car, i got a red light ticket from one of those cameras. they just mailed it to the person to whom the vehicle was registered and said "pay up"- they didn't care who was in the car at the time (even though it was very clearly me).
however, there were no points on anyone's license- because they couldn't prove who was driving the car, they downgraded it from a "moving violation" to the equivalent of a parking ticket. that's about as fair as it gets, i figure (except for the part where i was grounded for a month).
