Not every mechanism of society needs to be built around fear of punishment. In fact, i would say that none should be in and ideal society. There are numerous ways to not instill fear in people every second of every day. It even would make a healthier society if people didn’t live in perpetual fear of the state.
Just because they are corrupt cops above the law dosen’t mean that speed cameras dosen’t work. Hidden cameras that are only there to “catch” speeders are pretty stupid, but cameras with warning about their proximity are pretty useful to slow down drivers before conflict points

A camera says nothing about punishment and everything about accountability. Some people simply need a reminder or are new to an area as well.

If the goal is to reduce speeding, road design plays more of a factor more than cameras.
A fine means that it’s a revenue grab.

That’s correct, but cameras still work and are cheaper/easier to install than rebuilding the streets.

But they’re not a solution to poor road planning. It’s like putting a bandaid on a gaping wound.
