So if it's established as unconstitutional, couldn't you file a criminal complaint of official oppression against the members of whatever government approved the cameras since they are levying unconstitutional fines?

As an individual and not the government, you can't file a criminal action.

You could file a civil action for violation of constitutional rights, but under Roberts, SCOTUS has basically been ripping out all of the mechanisms that would let you file such suits.

		"As an individual and not the government, you can't file a criminal action." You can file with the police, if they take it. You can also file as a private criminal complaint in many jurisdictions. However, it's up to the DA to approve it most of the time. There can be an appeal process where a judge would make a determination. But yes, if the whole system is corrupt, then there's not much to do.

If they invalidate every contested fine nobody has any standing to make a legal complaint.

		They're only invalidating it if you fight it. The people who paid it and later realized it was unconstitutional may have standing.
