NYC should have been the model to follow. Instead of flock cameras, cities should have bounty systems: record a video of a speed violation with a plate, and get 10% of the ticket revenue. Enforcement would explode.
We could of had a system where we used the technology we already had in our hands to democratize speed enforcement, instead of corporatizing it
- Fnoord 10mo agoInteresting. 'But your honor, it is AI enhanced. I wasn't speeding.' 'Weird, I got this footage here from another angle and it shows you did. We also got the data from your car. You were speeding son.'

- barnas2 10mo agoNYC already tried Snitching as a Service during COVID, and it went terribly. I grew up with a neighbor who would constantly record people and call the cops over every little perceived infraction. Everyone in the neighborhood hated her, including the cops. I do not want to live in a society that encourages those people.
