Don’t worry, that’s probably one of the real reasons for 100 camera systems. As someone else pointed out, you don’t need 100 cameras to act as a policy enforcement and deterrence, but if you wanted to get constant surveillance of vehicles and people movements, recorded in public, you would want 100+ systems.

You can’t (currently) ticket people for crimes like speeding, but you can use it to ticket for other non-criminal violations like other parking violations, i.e., replacing meter maids.



That sounds like an overstepping of surveillance. Remember power is just as dangerous when wielded in the wrong hands


cars led to the creation of CHP and the expansion of US police authority, then that spread even more afar.

People should not be allowed to drive unsupervised. I am anti surveillance and anti cop. There is no safe world with unsupervised driving. And so we as a society traded some of our rights, acknowledging this new dangerous tool but choosing its convenience even though this led to whole new police departments, policies, etc.

Pedestrians, bicyclists, motorcyclists, and even drivers know that the way people drive is a serious problem.

I don’t want the cameras either, but to get rid of those you have to get rid of cars.


oh sorry

all cops are good

all cars are good

i apologize
