In this country, a 'person accused' has (had??) the right to confront
his/her accuser in a public court of law.

The standard for traffic infractions is very different than that for
criminal charges. Each state handles that flexibility differently, but the
bottom line is that for writing traffic tickets, you don't have nearly as
many rights as you would have if someone was accusing you of theft, murder,
etc.
