if you drive at the speed limit you won’t have a problem
-
the speed camera will be well signposted (car on the left so this is the UK) while it’s not a legal requirement that they have signposts I’ve never come across a fixed camera that isn’t
-
If you don’t break the law you won’t have a problem
-
the camera is painted bright yellow for visibility
-
once again for the those at the back who are hard of thinking: don’t speed and you won’t get fined
-
usually for first time offences if you’re just a bit over the limit you’ll get the option of a speed awareness course.
-
You’ve probably come to expect odd numbered points to tell you to not break the law by now, so I’ll mix it up: if you get caught breaking the law and get a slap on the wrist, don’t keep breaking the law.
I do agree though that the fining structure should be reformed, it should be a percentage of income with some provision in place so the super rich can’t get out of paying their appropriate share too.

this MF is a bootlicker if I’ve ever seen one.
there are a million ways a cop would fuck you over, primarily being “not white” or looking at them wrong, NOTHING to do with law.
I’ll give the UK a break as they’re not nearly as bad as the US, but cops are not your friends and that sentence quotes is a joke.
“if you got nothing to hide, let me search your car”
fuck no.

I don’t think anyone has ever received a speeding fine from a speed camera who was going at the speed limit.
Stop being a cunt and think of others road safety.

how about not being so dense and understand that governments can be wrong and abuse innocent people with no real recourse?

I don’t know what the rules are in the USA but over here you should be stopping on amber, not blasting through.

The first two are newsworthy because of their exceptionality. Thousands of cameras two issues.
The third link points 100% away from the argument that it’s just to get revenue. If it were they would be actively decreasing the amount of dropped fines. They’d be making sure cameras were calibrated correctly (as if they’re not the court would throw out) and that they weren’t
and that they wouldn’t suffer from a

No. This is a safety thing. This is multiple tons moving at speed. This gets regulated.
