How are so many people missing the forest for the trees this badly? Speeding cameras are mot perfect but literally every complaint you have applies to police, except police amplify them, while reducing the damage done by bias Police over-police neighborhoods just like cameras could oversaturate them. But police stops for a speeding ticket can spiral into life destroying incidents in an instant, and not just in overt ways like police shootings. Even something as simple as claiming they smelt a drug can result in property being seized, destroyed, people being detained. How many innocent people do you think there are out there who took a plea deal to go to prison over what started as a routine traffic stop?! And you want to talk about fines? How do the fines differ from police tickets? Except the officer being able to heap on as much damage as they feel like doing at that moment. For every time a cop "does someone a favor" by only giving them a 5 over to prevent a higher fine and more points, how many times were they able to instead put the full number, and a ticket because you didn't fully stop according to me, and I'll tack on a charge for that taillight, and improper merge because you changed lanes at that turn back there, and also do I smell weed? Cops say this all the time, they do not attempt to hide it, it is literally their MO: "If I follow someone long enough, they will mess up". There are too many traffic laws that essentially have turned driving into an invitation for stop and frisk. Why do we understand stop and frisk is bad when you're walking down the street, but not bad when you're in one of your most valuable possessions (which can be seized on extremely dubious grounds) I know it's popular on HN to ignore common sense to make a contrarian point, but come on...
