MI HB5284

Defines "automated speed enforcement system" as an electronic traffic sensor that detects speeding vehicles, interfaces with state police license plate databases, and produces recorded images showing license plate, location, date, and time.

Authorizes state police, transportation department, county commissioners, and local authorities to install and operate automated speed enforcement systems on highways and streets under their jurisdiction, with required signage at monitored locations.

Establishes that sworn police statements based on recorded images are prima facie evidence, with images available for inspection and destruction required 90 days after case disposition.

Creates a rebuttable presumption that a vehicle's registered owner committed the violation if prima facie evidence and proof of ownership are established, which can be rebutted by owner affidavit, sworn testimony, or police report of vehicle theft.

Allows citations to be executed by first-class mail to registered owner's address, with follow-up certified mail if defendant fails to appear, and establishes violations as civil infractions under the speed limit law.
