Red light camera infractions are civil fines against the owner of the vehicle, not moving violations against the driver.

That is not correct, at least in the US. In many states it's the driver and not the owner who is liable.

Are you sure that's true in every jurisdiction?

OK, I didn't know that. So in crime shows, where do the pictures of people in their cars come from (supposedly)? Speed traps or something?

What if your gets stolen? I would hope that the jurisdictions would have that as a valid defence.

The red-light camera systems in place near where I live have the camera built into the red light it self. The little web cams up on top where added later, and are on more lights than the camera enforced lights.
