These are cars that were caught by speed cameras. So far, cars caught on speed cameras have been treated more leniently than drivers caught speeding by the police; since a driver can dispute that they were the driver caught on camera, a camera ticket just generally consists of a fine and usually doesn't allow you to collect points on your license.

But instead of targeting the driver (who may, possibly, be innocent), this targets their cars. It'll hopefully have the same effect.

They're doing it wrong, then. In Australia, if you get a camera speeding ticket, you simply provide the details of the actual driver in a statuary declaration on the back of the ticket. If you can't do that, you cop the same fine as if it were you driving.
