It was a long battle here in Texas that went all the way to the Texas Supreme Court. I think the legal claim was that we have a right to face our accuser and a camera can not take the stand or testify.
Poor writing from the people pushing it then. Usually they get around that with weasel words making it a civil fine rather than anything with legal merit.
Among the consequences are a few outliers racking up tens of thousands in fines for repeat offenses but where there is no legal justification for arresting them or taking their license
