True for an individual case. However, my argument was that, at scale, the difference is massive, and adding speeding cameras doesn't stop cops from pulling people over. You just have police AND speeding cameras, both of which have problems, and the problems of neither are mitigated by the presence of the other.

> Last time I fought a ticket (before I wised up to the fact paying the judge's friend who is a lawyer reverses time in such a way you never sped?) it took 2 full days off work. 1 day to wait in line so I plead not guilty, 1 to actually contest, and officer was a no-show
And when this is much easier at scale, municipalities can create more of these headaches with less work on their part.
> Your other comments also imply a lack of understanding in the role traffic stops play in modern policing. Not being able to stop people for speeding and even other minor traffic infractions...
How do speeding cameras prevent this?! I ask a second time.
> Traffic stops are the leading springboard for all of these ills
How do speeding cameras prevent this?
> Compared to all this, cameras end up having shortcomings that police have, but with a fraction of the terrible abuse that can come from it.
I again don't understand how having speeding cameras prevents police from pulling people over.
> Also, this isn't the point of the comment, but cameras don't sleep, but they can be turned off. Here in New York City speed cameras are not on 24/7. They only operate during school opening and closing hours when kids are likely to be coming and going
And are pull-overs allowed outside of those times?
> And not every state allows them everywhere (in fact I don't know of any that do, but some might).
And are pull-overs allowed outside of those zones?
