It’s insane the lengths that some people will go to save a few seconds on their commute, while also endangering others.

    Ah, right, traffic cameras in fucking Cornwall, this is where we really really need to draw the line and talk about systemic discrimination.

    Fucking clowns.

    There are more poor people than rich ones being filtered into the justice system by cameras.

    No, the only ones who are „being filtered into the justice system“ are people who are speeding, no matter how rich or poor or gay or black they are, and there’s an extremely simple solution for not being „filtered into the justice system“: stop driving too fast.

    Here’s another idea: let’s cut down all red lights too, they also „filter more poor people into the justice system“.

      You may not be aware, but the world is larger than just Cornwall. Your bad faith reductionist arguments are idiotic.

      You acknowledge that systemic discrimination exists, but you want to paint borders around where it’s appropriate to talk about it. Why? Systemic discrimination is always worth examining. Yes, even in Cornwall, but also everywhere else.

      Nice how you conveniently ignore the other points made in this thread about how speed cameras actually are used. They don’t call these approaches “speed traps” for nothing, there is intentional entrapment built into the system.
