It may be days or weeks before a person is notified of a traffic violation recorded by a camera, the executive director of ACLU-CT told a legislative committee. "Presently, when someone receives a traffic violation," Andrew Schneider said at a public hearing, "the officer who provides the ticket makes the motorist immediately aware of the violation. . . .
