Reply to comment by Agile_Disk_5059 in Why isn't there red light cameras on every single intersection? by canipetyourdog420

I'm all for limiting how fast cars can go, I think that's a public safety issue.

Candy bars... not so much, that comes down to personal responsibility and self harm; until people start swerving in and out of the candy aisle causing bodily harm to others, that is.

As for the constant monitoring? What happens when someone gets mugged? There is a huge push to ferret out every doorbell cam and security system camera that might have video of what happened. So, people don't want monitoring until they want monitoring. Cell phones seem to be the exception.

I'll add that I'm typing off the top of my head and have not put much real thought into the topics.

More people are dying of candy bars (i.e. junk food) than of car accidents.

That may be, but it's not an immediate public safety-of-others issue is what I was trying to convey. I had a good friend killed by a reckless driver, no friends killed by someone eating a candy bar.
