wasting money

Who's got a higher salary, a cop or a camera?

Ticketing pedestrians

How about fuck no not in a million years. The LAST thing we need is to tell cops to go out and aggressively harass anyone who "looks distracted."

Even if cars were the responsibility of people walking (they aren't, wtf?) there's a 0% chance this could go smoothly.

Depends on how often the camera needs to be repaired/replaced and where the money goes for the tickets it writes.

Cops need to start ticketing:

  • people changing lanes without indication
  • people turning without indication
  • people driving in the inside lane when they're not passing
  • people who take more than 2 seconds to react to a light change
  • People following bumper-to-bumper forming left-turn trains through yellow/red lights
  • People who take more than a few seconds to get back up to speed

And also:

  • Pedestrians who stand on the edge of the curb at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross
  • Pedestrians standing literally on the edge of the road at the corner waiting for the light to change so they can cross

You want to ticket pedestrians for standing on the edge of the curb, waiting for the light? Like, on the sidewalk, just really close to the road?

Like literally right on the curb, sometimes on the road edge of the road itself, making it incredibly difficult to see around them when making a turn.

It's next-level stupid. Like should some dipshit lose control of their car or take the turn too sharp, that person is fucked.
