I don't have the time to get into a big discussion on this today. Summary is I know I'm in the minority on this but we should have more of them in US -- nm - Strongbad Jul 31, 09:33 12
- Two issues I have: 1) The only place where we apply assumed guilt is when we fine owners without knowing they are drivers. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 31, 09:55 1
  - Agreed. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 31, 12:29
- I've shifted opinion. It reduces interactions with cops and that's a good thing. -- nm - TWuG Jul 31, 09:37 2
  - cameras don't see race -- nm - amanda Jul 31, 09:47 1
    - In this case, true. - TWuG Jul 31, 09:57
- The big problem (it seems to me, as an outsider) is that people don't trust the enforcement. - Roger More Jul 31, 09:36 6
  - If the enforcement is faulty, that is one thing. But speed limits are valid everywhere, not only where cameras are installed. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 31, 09:40 1
    - Speed limits are valid everywhere, but the risks of not complying with them are different in different places. - Roger More Jul 31, 09:52
  - This is how the red light cameras have been around us also. It doesn't seem to reduce accidents either as people would get into accidents slamming - oblique Jul 31, 09:38
  - Yes, just like shoplifting prevention equipment in commercial businesses can be seen as a revenue raiser -- nm - Strongbad Jul 31, 09:38 2
    - Yes, it's exactly like that. - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 31, 09:53 1
      - I warned you I'd be in the minority. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 31, 12:46
wow, yeah, no. -- nm - colin Jul 31, 09:25
Absolute. Evil. Average of 11 per day per camera. -- nm* - Spawn Jul 31, 09:25 3
- This is more on drivers than enforcers to me. The speed cameras are all marked, there's transparency about errors, etc -- nm - Roger More Jul 31, 09:32 2
  - Oh, they are marked? Huh. -- nm - Spawn Jul 31, 09:35 1
    - I've seen a few around Chicago I think. There are big signs with "Speed enforcement ahead" or something that if I remember right. Plus Waze had them -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 09:37
