For people who are against this because it's dystopian or won't help enough, what is your alternate solution for the dangerous/illegal driving behaviors that are constantly occurring around here? Or are we meant to just lie down and take it?

Have police enforce traffic laws? Design better roadways that discourage speeding with physical impediments and speed focused design instead of cameras?

I mean people that intentionally run red lights will happily ignore tickets assuming their tags are even associated with them or their residence to be able to send the tickets.

I’m on board for better road design. Don’t see how police watching for traffic violations is any less dystopian than cameras though

It's significantly less dystopian and verifies that the person driving is the one getting in trouble. With a camera all you can do is send a ticket to an address. If it's the wrong address, oh well, if someone was borrowing your car too bad, if the plates aren't registered uh oh.

I'm not one for a police state but enforcing traffic laws is a pretty low bar to ask of police
