Crikey. If you can't trust a judge, then who can you trust?

have the same in the UK.

Digital camera - ISDN link - DVLA computer - S172 notice - £60 quid. Most speeding cases never get shown to a judge and the justice process is by and large automated.

Fotunately we can't get put on death row by a computer 'just' yet. It probably isn't far away though...

On the flip side, sometimes I feel like giving my computer the death sentance

[Mr E]

They still use ISDN?

[bond-007]

Yes indeed.

I wonder what the computer would make of this crime:

You mean a judge like this? www.theregister.co.uk/2006/06/29/pneumatic_judge/

Automation SUCKS!

[jasandjules]

Actually, that is quite an interesting idea..

BUT the whole point of using a human being as a judge is for those times when a new situation arises.
