Speed cameras next. They’re just revenue generators and part of a safetyism Trojan horse for surveillance.
- good publicity (drivers know that speed cameras exist)
- density (high chance of passing a speed camera)
- enforcement of penalties (if fines can be ignored then they lose their deterrent effect)
- portable (so you don't know where they are ahead of time)
Speed cameras don't have to enable mass surveillance. The oldest ones are detect a speeding object and take two photos at a fixed interval. Cars that aren't speeding aren't recorded.
Do they talk about the time lost to RTCs?
How much time do you "lose" due to speed limits?
