As others have pointed out, your example doesn't hold water: other countries have speeding cameras already, and our speedometers are already sufficiently accurate.

Do you have a better example?



"others" is one person who is being incredibly pedantic. Red light cameras or speeding cameras on a few areas !== all encompassing surveillance that implements 100% compliance with the laws.

If you guys are going to harp on speeding cameras existing as well to invalidate the argument, how do you handle the fact that they have been shown to increase accident rates and many communities have pushed to get rid of them as a result?


"One" person is two, and they made valid points that you refused to acknowledge.

> Red light cameras or speeding cameras on a few areas !== all encompassing surveillance that implements 100% compliance with the laws.

Who said there would be all-encompassing surveillance, or that 100% compliance with the laws would be enforced? That's a straw man that you created.


You're confusing red light cameras at intersections with speeding cameras. There has been no research showing that speeding cameras increase accident rates.
