>speeding causes actual deaths of members of society
Ok? Heart disease kills more, from which obesity is a factor. How about I make an app that encourages users to snap pictures of people in public (totally legal) who are eating a big mac?
If we save even one life, it's worth it right?
On the other hand, maybe deploying technology at scale to encourage random people to police others is bad.
- potatochup 4y agoThis is not a charitable response. Vehicles accidents often harm the innocent in a random fashion (the only way to avoid being impacted by dangerous drivers would be to never go near a road) but the victim of heart disease is also the perpetrator in your case.
- zionic 4y agoThe perpetrator might be the primary victim, but what about dependents? Collectively as a society we’re all harmed by the sky high heart disease death toll. It makes COVID look like a picnic, but we do so little about it.

You eating a big mac isn't a threat to me, my family or my friends. This attempt to portray all speeding as some kind of victimless morality crime is truly bizarre. Speeding is more akin to firing a gun into the air and then crying "Why are you persecuting me? I'm not harming anyone"
