Okay, so on one hand, ACAB, and especially fuck their racially biased "enforcement". On the other hand, those fucking speed cameras have been proven over and over again to be set up specifically for revenue enhancement.

If the cameras are implemented with other speed reducing traffic infrastructure, to improve safety of everyone involved instead of increasing the chances of creating violations to ticket, I can support them.

Give us longer yellow lights. Pauses between the lights changing. Design roads that encourage people to drive slower overall. We need to be pushing for those changes so we can move away from the racist asshole cops.

“Our findings show that when speed cameras are doing the ticketing, the proportion of tickets issued to Black and white drivers aligns closely with their respective share of roadway users. With human enforcement, in contrast, police officers stop Black drivers at a rate that far outstrips their presence on the road.”
