Section 45-37A-331.31 Legislative findings. The Legislature finds and declares the following:
(1) Accident data establishes that speeding vehicles have been and are a dangerous problem
in Midfield, Alabama. (2) Studies have found that automated speeding enforcement in a municipal

reducing the number of speeding violations and decreasing the number of traffic accidents,

Section 45-21A-10.07 Identity of owner or vehicle. In the event the evidence produced by an
