      Don’t worry, the cameras that have facial recognition are racist plenty

    I am familiar with the problems that come with companies who put up traffic light cameras, fudging the parameters to make it catch much more than the blatant running of lights. We had them in our area and they were later removed for that very reason. We don’t have cameras for speeding though, so I’m not aware of problems if they’re set for speeders that are well over the limit (so you don’t trigger a ticket for 66 in a 65).

      idk, I wish more people understood that the speed limit is a limit, not a target speed.

      Going one kph over the limit is illegal and should receive a ticket.

      If you have a lead foot, just set your cruise control 10 clicks below the speed limit, or more.

        That only works if you shift the entire populations perception of speed limits. If too small of a percentage adopt this mentality, they become obstacles. People will drive the speed they FEEL safe at, regardless of actual safety. Speed limits do nothing to change that. Better options are making roads that don’t feel safe at higher speeds.

    Study from the people who make and sell the speed cameras? You mean programmed bias. But you know racism bad.
