In Australia the owner of the vehicle is presumed responsible. The owner must provide a statutory declaration (legal document that is punishable by jail time if you are caught lying on one) that the vehicle was being driven by someone else.
However, camera images are now good enough that it’s easy to match face of driver with drivers license photo these days.
The only way to avoid demerit points is to register the car to a business, and the registered owner must sign a stat Dec confirming that they have no records of who was driving the car at the time, in which case demerit points are omitted and the fine is doubled.
So business owners here register their personal vehicles as company cars and pay extra licensing fees and double speeding fines to avoid demerits and losing their license. $400 - $1600+for a demerit-worthy speed. During public holidays, like Christmas, demerits and fines are doubled. So a business owner driving 100 in a 60 zone can pay $3200 if flashed by a camera on Christmas or Easter.
And accordingly they should receive only part of the shrapnel from a himars

Ah, well that I can probably do, once I tidy up my code a bit and properly document the tech stack


I built it mostly for my mum and dad so that dad could download MP3 music and mum could download her sewing videos and play them in VLC.
Thing is, the domain is registered to me, hosted on my own metal, and run in my own house. I don’t really think I’m smart enough to fully secure and obfuscate my site, but also not dumb enough to let the public go ham on it while exposing myself to legal action from one of the most powerful companies on earth.
If I get time soon, I’ll try to spin up a clone with some layers of protection and anonymity, and share that.

Turn on the “relax” lever and then you can’t find the energy to turn it off again because you are in relax mode and that counts as work, like an elevator button to a Jew on Shabbat

I believe that’s known as a mass shooting.
