Speed cameras are a source of income, they are not for enforcement or safety.

  My understanding is this varies wildly by jurisdiction. But it doesn't matter to my point: assume it's just about income, put the cameras everywhere, how fast does it make driving unaffordable? Same for anything with a fine, e.g. would littering fines be enough to replace taxation, but in a weird way that also puts the messiest subset of the population into life-long bankruptcy to pay those fines? (Of course, current AI is nowhere near good enough for this, if it was those Amazon "AI-powered" "cashier-free" shops wouldn't have secretly been done by humans watching CCTV).
