And yet, if you were to be sent a ticket in the mail because you were caught on a traffic cam you would be equally as guilty of breaking the law as if you did the same thing in broad daylight with a cop sitting at the intersection.
Just as there is no "But judge! It was the middle of the night in BFE!" defense, there's also no "We're all christians here and you can geeeeyyyyit out" defense. Ironically though there is a "We're all christians here and you can geeeeyyyyit out!" offense. It's called private or homeschool.
