Murder and robbery too. Those crimes are just worth investigating.

  The problem here is this is not a bureaucratic view of how law enforcement actually works in the field. https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/traffic-tickets-can-be-profitable-and-fairness-isnt-the-bottom-line-in-city-courts-where-judges-impose-the-fines/ https://www.kxan.com/news/national-news/traffic-tickets-can-... >We counted the number of days judges waited before suspending a driver’s license. Then, we looked at whether the city was experiencing a revenue shortfall. We found that judges suspend licenses faster when their cities need more money. The effect was pretty large: A 1% decrease in revenue caused licenses to be suspended three days faster. So what typically happens is these AI systems are sold at catching murderers, but at the end of the day they are revenue generation systems for tickets. And then those systems get stuck in places where a smaller percent of the population can afford lawyers to prevent said ticketing systems from becoming cost centers.

    oh, i definitely wasn't arguing for ai enforcement. Not even a little, i was just saying that laws are written with the assumption that enforcement takes resources.
