> - Is the driver recognizable and is the owner? Does it matter? Either the owner authorized the unsafe driver and can pay the fine or the car was stolen and the fine should be waived. > - What is the penalty for non-payment? The same as it is now for unpaid speeding tickets. > - What if the driver obfuscates their license plate? Then regular police cars that drive near them should notice this, pull them over and fine them. > - What if that state has released license plates that aren't readable? That seems like a weird thing for a state to do. > - What about police vehicles? Can they drive 90 mph with no blinker? Yes > - What about military vehicles? Can they drive 90 mph with no blinker? Probably not. > - What if the car is registered with diplomatic immunity? Then you issue a ticket and they don't pay it. See New York and UN parking tickets for an example. > - What if the car is getting away from another car driving 90 mph with no blinker? Then they both get tickets. > - What if the system fails and says everyone is driving 90 mph? > - What if the system is hacked, and/or deepfakes added to political enemies? > - What if the system catches a fly flying by and attributes its catch to a car driving 1,000 mph? These questions all seem to think this is new, unreliable technology. Photo radar has existed and been used for decades. > - Will humans audit the system? Probably. > - Can we trust those humans that audit the system? Do you trust the humans issuing speeding tickets now?

Exactly. Many of your responses identify the ongoing ambiguity, to say nothing of the oversight required or the pat clarity an engineer mistakenly sees as a solution versus what a lawyer would tear apart using existing precedent, policy, and appeal to natural rights and precedent. Responsibly implementing technology solutions in a human-centered system needs more precision than the holes a random internet commentator can poke and a random interrogator can gloss over. In many US states, red light cameras have been de-fanged with a variety of excuses, perhaps most importantly highlighting that the law doesn't work precisely.
