Fucking stupid headline trying to suggest that speed enforcement in a city plagued by road casualties, is simply a cash grab

[-] w111@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

I don't disagree, but it's funny to me how certain things are prioritized because they are cash grabs. There are many other aspects of driving that need to be policed which aren't limited to speeding, red lights, and parking. It feels like the police/city are disinterested in pursuing anything else, I'm assuming because effort is involved. I see drivers so often fucking around with phones / eyes on something other than the road which is as dangerous as, if not more dangerous than, going 10 km/h over the speed limit. I see tons of super aggressive driving too.

I'm not saying stop speed enforcement with cameras, but maybe police other things that aren't immediately profitable too.
