Reply to comment by lost_in_life_34 in Automated enforcement of water conservation rules in Fresno, California led to a decrease in summer water use and violations of conservation rules (relative to households subject to in-person inspections). This program massively increased consumer complaints, ultimately causing its cancellation. by smurfyjenkins

So... if there were more cameras, and people received more warning from apps and devices, wouldn't that increase compliance? The goal should be compliance, not revenue.

Those things are just as much about revenue and a shadow tax as much as safety if not more.

Too many cameras won’t be financially viable

Since a traffic light costs no less than $50k to purchase and install and at least $2k a year to maintain, I think there's more money for enforcement cameras than you might think.
