I don't really care that much either way for speed cameras. They work in a very limited fashion, but they punish the poor the most, and the money goes to cops.

At the end of the day speed cameras are a solution to a problem that doesn't need to exist. We are failing to use technology available to us for basically no reason - we already know how to slow people and calm traffic without any kind of economic/punitive incentive.

They punish people who speed the most. If you make the needle on your dash point to the number that is posted on the road signs, you don't get a ticket.

I’ve gotten a ticket for going 1 over on a downhill. If you think that’s reasonable, you’re likely one of the idiots who created these things.

Citation needed. They don't set them at 1 over because it's hard to prove they are that accurate, your speedo also only has to be +/-3% in Ontario.

Demands citation. Makes claim. Leaves no citation. Stay classy, San Diego.
