I prefer the risk of death over constant surveillance
- paxys 1y agoThe child you hit might not share the same opinion.
- hamdingers 1y agoIf you're want to operate a deadly vehicle in public you need to compromise, sorry.
- terminalshort 1y agoSounds like you're the one who needs to compromise because most people agree with me, or we would already have such a system.
- hamdingers 1y agoSounds like you're confused about the world you live in if you believe there aren't millions of cameras, many with ALPR capabilities, pointed at the street already. I propose they be made actually useful instead of merely surveillance for surveillance sake, but I can see how that would feel oppressive to drivers accustomed to getting away with murder.
- lotsofpulp 1y agoA) everyone is already constantly surveilled via mobile networks and license plate readers, so surveillance is a moot point. We might as well get something out of it. B) the system can be setup to purge and/or record only at relevant times or during infractions
- terminalshort 1y agoThat's kind of like justifying invading a country by saying "we have this big military so we might as well get something out of it."

- whimsicalism 1y agoprobably the minority on HN, but i don't. i think traffic enforcement cameras are good and should be expanded
- phendrenad2 1y agoI agree. People are welcome to go live "off-grid" if they want to live like we don't have 8.1 billion people on the planet. The rest of us are going to try to find ways to make it work.
