Cops also use speeding tickets as a revenue source and we already give them enough of our city budgets. Fuck these cameras and fuck the cops

These are administrative tickets. It's handled by the department on transportation. Would you prefer that cops pulled people over to ticket them for driving violations?

I'd prefer they get real jobs and stop putting up cameras to facilitate their mass surveillance campaigns

Yeah. I'm talking about solving a problem that everyday people deal w which is traffic violence. I'm talking about preventing more kids from being killed today & tomorrow. I'm able to fight for defunding the po, eliminating $ bail & safer streets simultaneously. I can take a half a loaf as a win.

Yes. We don't want to be a dystopian society where computers and cameras issue tickets. Because where does it stop then? Plus there's evidence they routinely make mistakes. I know this article's UK but it's all the same. speedingfinecalculatoruk.com/when-incorre...

No I'm just anti surveillance and based on the amount of tickets from that one camera it's being over used. Also the cops 100% use them to do fucked shit with the ones that already exist

It's .2 percent of drivers that go through the area that have been ticketed. Reckless driving degrades the quality of life for residents. I prefer hardened traffic calming that physically slows down drivers but until we get there, I support ticketing reckless drivers. bsky.app/profile/star...

If it's next to a park, maybe it's fine. Most of the speed traps where I live are completely unnecessary, non residential highways for example where they set the speed limit to 35mph for no reason other than to give ppl tickets

We're talking about the city of Chicago. A dense urban area where thousands of people are maimed each week because of car crashes. Also. Speeding kills. It kills near parks & also in the "middle of nowhere." It's not okay to speed in some areas and not in others. It's antisocial & deadly.

Yeah I just see posts like this right next to posts about ICE using all the cameras to arrest immigrants and wanting to add a bunch more so idk i still don't want more cameras while our govmnt is trying to build their surveillance police state
