It’s insane the lengths that some people will go to save a few seconds on their commute, while also endangering others.

    The basis for the rationale for putting up speed cameras depends on the police to act with an unquestionable moral authority.

    No, it doesn’t?

        It explicitly takes control away from the police and moves it to simple sensors and circuits, as well as simple bureaucratic mailing lists. If it screws up, you can either request a manual review of the footage or spend an afternoon to bring your own evidence it in front of a judge. The police have nothing to do with it.

          Except when the camera is in the policeman’s hand and when they run the training courses you mean?

            Well, we are talking about a pole mounted camera, and if it was misscalibrated is would be very easy to prove, so yes?
