People v. Goldsmith
Annotate this CaseDefendant was found guilty of failing to stop at a red traffic light at an intersection. Defendant's conviction was based on evidence generated by an automated traffic enforcement system (ATES), otherwise known as a red light traffic camera. Defendant’s conviction was upheld on appeal. At issue before the Supreme Court was whether the trial court properly admitted the ATES evidence over Defendant’s objections of inadequate foundation and hearsay. The Supreme Court affirmed, holding (1) sufficient evidence was submitted for the court to sustain a finding that the ATES evidence was adequately authenticated; and (2) ATES evidence does not constitute hearsay.
