That's not true. We have a ton of these popping up in my neighborhood in places where there haven't been issues.

Also they are owned by private companies that pocket most of the money you pay the fine with.

Why do I need 5 of these on my way to work in the morning? That's 5 times where if I accidentally went too fast I have to pay a private company $200. That's up to 10 times a day I am at risk of a random fee to some company. Insane that you want that

    My only real issue with it is that there are a ton of them now and they are privately owned. If the fine went to the city that would be a different story.

    Imagine if next they put a sensor right in your car so if you ever go over a limit you always get a fine. Would you still be into that? Would you buy that car?

    privately owned

    Sounds like a shithole country issue. Normal countries have a police and judiciary.

    Would you still be into that?

    Ow yes please. If that's what it takes for people like you to drive according to the rules, absofuckinglutely yes.
