Because a camera records a specific moment in time and not the attendant circumstances which a human would. Those that monitor/review that moment then begin process on that moment. At that point you then have to prove your innocence or provide mitigating factors. And often after time has elapsed you are simply not able to do that.
For example giving way to a fire engine/ambulance and safely pulling over a stop line at a traffic light controlled junction or into a bus lane and then being processed for it quite frankly absurd and anyone supporting such process needs to give their head a wobble.
A speed camera on the other hand records an 'absolute offence'. There are very few defences for speeding.
You could argue that a camera recording a car park late is recording an 'absolute offence'. But if you cant physically get out then then proceedings stop there.
