    No, it boils down to whether or not you want some enforcement at all of the laws. If you don’t, then monitoring speeding and driving shouldn’t be done. Using privacy arguments for how you behave on a public motorway is a ridiculous stretch. It also muddies the water of the real problems with law enforcement issues, aka the police problem. Catching speeders is not one of these.

      We’ve had enforcement without cameras and automation for generations. Gimme a break. You’re just advocating for enforcement by robots instead of by actual people. That’s not a good future to continue working toward.

        If you’re wanting to beat strawmen, fine, but I never once mentioned robots, you brought it up and it had nothing to do with anything I’ve said. I even agree that automation is a dangerous route, as the AI craze is showing, but that’s not how this thread started or even was about.

          Cameras watching and enforcing traffic laws is giving control to robots instead of people.

          Edit to add: look into Clearview AI and then tell me you are still ok with copious public cameras and AI for police use.

          Police officers should be people, and they should be seen, especially when patrolling
