I mean, yeah, but having your movement constantly tracked by government is still unsettling.
I feel the right way to handle that(and traffic infractions in general) is through culture, not surveillance.

- neoromantique 4y agoSo, like Chinese social credit system? Thanks, but no thanks, I'd like to avoid living in a literal dystopia for as long as I possibly can.

- robonerd 4y ago> We’re well past a polite society as a solution. Isn't that a bit fatalist? Perhaps our society has degenerated, but who's to say things can't get better? Things have gotten better before. Society used to be very rude and brutish, but then got better. It could get better again, without having to build a techno-surveillance authoritarian monster with capabilities the Stasi could only dream of...

- lamontcg 4y agoI agree the correct way to handle this would be to change our culture to be less selfish and obnoxious. That doesn't seem to be happening any time soon. The richest man in the world is currently an emotional infant that makes 69/420 jokes every other day and everyone applauds. We are living in a Troll society. The result is policies like this to try to put some kind of a lid on it.
