Our state has speed cameras in school zones. I would like to see before-and-after statistics showing that fewer kids have been hit since the installation of the cameras.
Of course, said data doesn’t exist, because no one bothered to collect it. It “feels” safer and generates revenue, so they do it.
There’s quite a bit of low tax rates mixed in with that ink. Politicians want to boast about low taxes, but that revenue needs to come from somewhere and now it’s fines and fees.
If you want to end the enforcement cameras, drive responsibly and don’t break the rules that are written in blood.

The speed cameras aren’t there to keep anyone safe, they’re there to collect revenue.

The solution is as simple as that, and if you feel compelled to break the rules - let it at least be a source of revenue.
Eh…
