The second part is what all the people screaming that opposing camera-based enforcement are murdering children are missing - police abuse of these systems isn't a theory, it's reality. You can't have a fair technocratic solution if you can't trust who runs it. You can't design out the people.

The thing i argue for (camera based traffic enforcement) isn't even something Flock does. If they handed out speeding tickets then there would at least be some benefit, but they don't even do that, it's all downside

I swear any time people post about these cameras I just want to post the panel from V for Vendetta with the little girl looking at a camera that she believes to be defunct now and saying “bollocks” and other swears at it

could you post the excellent alt text in the clear or DM me with it? I want to save it for future reposting and my phone isn’t letting me just copy it and save it to Notes
