Driving a car is incredibly dangerous, it should be one of the most regulated experiences on earth, and it is very upsetting to watch people who correctly don’t trust the cops turn against automated enforcement because the alternative is relying on a cop’s judgement to enforce the laws.

I really need people to understand that in the United States, tickets and fines are proxies for incarceration. The poor (especially in the bulk of the country where there’s virtually no public transport) must drive, can’t pay fines, and end up incarcerated (and evicted , etc.) because of tickets.

if you design the speed camera properly approximately nobody will pay the fine. this has been largely the experience in New York City with red light cameras
