Fucking lol what a dumb take. Speed cameras are doing literally everything you want the city to do other than elect better leaders. They avoid the problems with a police state that comes from having the police arbitrarily enforcing laws rather than objectively. To get the same effect the cameras have with actual police the city would have to hire thousands of new cops and put them at every corner of the road.
Enforcing traffic laws with cameras isn't 1984, and if you think that they are you have no idea what a real police state looks like.

The use of speed cameras in public has been banned in multiple jurisdictions across America. Let's not act like this is some obvious slam dunk. "Fucking lol".
>Maine, Mississippi, New Hampshire, New Jersey, South Carolina, Texas, West Virginia and Wisconsin prohibit speed cameras via state law.
Doesn't sound like you speak for everyone. Shit, it sounds like entire states would care to disagree with you.
