I used to be a speed camera operator in Victoria when in the Police. How many people get a speed camera fine in the mail and don't request a copy of the picture? Too many I think. There is a very good reason for requesting this picture as it may very well save you a fine and demerit points. For example if in the picture your vehicle is there but there is also another vehicle in the picture and there is no gap between them (in other words you can't see any road or light as they have crossed over) then write a letter explaining you will fight the ticket as there is no way knowing they can prove it was your vehicle and not the other one that was speeding, also they can't book two vehicles for the one offence.... always get the picture as you just never know what errors there are in there.....

I work with speed and red light cameras in QLD and our process is that with nultiple vehicles in the image, it is not valid detection. Als, every infringement notices has the image printed on it.
