It's starting to feel like Europe.
In Belgium you couldn't drive a miles without being recorded on some ALPR camera.
Speed cameras everywhere. And the current rage is average speed cameras. So they take your photo on an on-ramp and when you take the exit they'll calculate the average. Above the speed limit: ticket. With no way of facing your accuser in court. The machine said so...
- mixmastamyk 3y agoThat’s a dystopia right there. Would quit my job before participating in that.
- _trampeltier 3y agoWhy is this comment downvoted? I think is pretty fair to say "I would quit my job before participating in that". More tech workers should say "NO" to so much BS today. Tech does give us so much good things, but we drive full speed into a new kind of slavery.
- barbazoo 3y agoI've heard about that for tunnels. Do you have a source for three on-ramp/off-ramp version?
- rpodraza 3y agoSo you're claiming these are inaccurate? Do you have any other solutions for speeding? I think these are still much better solution than a device that tracks your location all the time.
- trgn 3y agoSpeed limiters on cars. Limiters on acceleration would be good too.
- thecopy 3y agoWhat is the problem? That you cannot break the law without consequence? Car-drivers have a strong sense of entitlement that i never have seen in other non-radical groups.
- switch007 3y agoUh I know right. Then there’s those other radicals called homeowners who don’t want government cameras in their house checking they aren’t doing anything illegal. Homeowners have such a strong sense of entitlement
- thecopy 3y agoThis is not an honest comparison. Cars are inherently dangerous; to the people inside, people outside, and to infrastructure and buildings around them. The faster they go the more dangerous they are. They drive on publically funded infrastructure in a public setting.
- WirelessGigabit 3y agoNo actually. Speed kills. I am against mass surveillance. Remember when Snowden released all those documents? How we were all angry about the NSA spying on its own citizens? Systems like this do the same, although they justify it as a means to stop speeding, which, to be fair, they do very well. But we go from one month of data retention to multiple months, and then someone finds old data that was not deleted and the government allows its use, and now its acceptable to store this data for 2 years etc etc.
