I've shifted opinion. It reduces interactions with cops and that's a good thing. -- nm - TWuG Jul 31, 09:37 2

  - 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

  - 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
