Small counties generate huge revenues with traffic cameras.
I think reducing crime and road safety is an excuse.
There are true innovators in the traffic camera space but i think counties often choose vendors who give them best ROI.
- dhdaadhd 7mo agoCan you elaborate on true innovators? No shade, but I have a hard time conceptualizing what innovation would look like in this space.
- debarshri 7mo agoTraffic camera along various sensors for emission control, sound and noise control, gunshot detection etc. to name a few. Seat belt detection, phone detection, lane violations etc. at the application layer. I can talk about Sensysgatso, where I used to work. They have quite some tech-forward platform.
- dspillett 7mo ago> Small counties generate huge revenues with traffic cameras. Whether or not that is true, I suspect it is, the best way to avoid fines for breaking traffic regulations is to not break traffic regulations. They can't make anything from you that way if you do.

- dspillett 7mo agoIf they are that corrupt then you have problems beyond traffic fines. Get your own dash cam and such so you can prove they are lying. No, in an ideal world you shouldn't have to, but if you have a corrupt police force you aren't living in an ideal world.
