Drivers are assholes by me too and enforcement is low here too, but that doesn’t justify a camera watching every driver 24/7, plus pedestrians in some areas.
If you want more traffic enforcement, get the cops to do their fucking jobs.
Lol good luck with getting the cops to do anything. They love abusing traffic laws themselves.
But these cameras do not watch people. They take a picture when they detect a car is going too fast or blows a red light, not constant surveillance.
Plus cars are on public roads, peds are on public streets. I don’t really care about the privacy argument tbh in this case. Much more people are harmed from cars speeding and blowing red lights then any sort of abuse involving public cameras.
Those are traffic cams dude, not enforcement cameras.
Traffic cameras watch traffic and a lot of them are open to be viewed by anyone.
Enforcement cameras take shots on motion and object detection. Just like toll cameras which snap a pic of your license plate as you drive under them, they aren’t meant to view traffic live. The cameras have very different tech as they are for a specific purpose.
It’s not pedantic if I’m addressing your assertions based on the article you linked in reply to the guy saying your not being watch via what are basically just really high tech photo cameras.
It’s beyond hilarious that flying squid would whine about someone else being pedantic, because most times when we’ve butted heads, pedanticism has been their go-to once their argument starts to falter.
But it’s especially funny here when you aren’t even being pedantic, but pointing out that the article they provided is talking about something almost completely separate.

Not only are those not cars running red lights, you can clearly see the intersection and sidewalks where pedestrians would be.

I’m sure this meme applies just as well to traffic cams if you want to be pedantic about it.

Meme aside.
