    You can just admit that you want intrusive observation that skips due process because it fits the narrative you want to force on everyone else.

    It’s okay.

    I personally think it’s a terrible idea.

      this is what’s known as a “straw man” — you used words I didn’t to make a point I hadn’t and then criticize the point you made up.

      It’s considered impolite.

        A government agency is using a flimsy excuse to extort money from it’s citizens, accusing people of a crime without due process… and you’ve made it clear that you think it’s a worthy trade off for the illusion of safer roads.

          I think you’re drastically blowing speeding fines out of proportion and severely underestimating the cost and impact of bad driving.
