That Time I Turned a Routine Traffic Ticket into the Constitutional Trial of the Century

quote [ Laws that give municipal officials and their private contractors power to issue tickets via traffic cameras confer powers of both criminal and civil law while excusing them from the due process duties of both criminal and civil law. ]

Hardly a trial of a century. I can't wait until self driving cars put speeding cameras and traffic cops out of business.

I definitely picked up a tone of smug libertarianism in the article ("I'm way smarter than all these civil service drones and I'm gonna stick rub their noses in it"), even if he does raise some interesting questions about the nature and hazards of automated justice. But since traffic enforcement cameras are still routinely employed throughout the country I'd say his boast of 'constitutional trial of the century' is mostly the smugness.
I think the subject is still addressed quite effectively in the Star Trek episode "Court Marshal". Makes me wonder though if Samuel T. Cogley would be a smug conservative in his time.
