It’s always exactly who you expect
547 times? including red lights and school zones?
shoot 'em and be done with it. no place for this person in society, and there’s nowhere on earth that deserves having them dropped there
since nobody else seems up to the task, why don’t you go over there and do it?
not allowed into the US
well since there’s no other possible way to get reform other than violence, it’ll be necessary to break the law. who’s gonna stop you, the police?
Tell me again how traffic cameras make us safer and we can totally trust them to be applied objectively for public safety and no other purpose?
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 work very well to slow down drivers before conflict points
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.
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.
A camera says nothing about punishment and everything about social accountability. Some people simply need a reminder or are new to an area as well.
Perfect example of policing in America. Their primary mission as a force is to protect themselves at all costs just like any other gang or criminal organization.
That’s their secondary mission. Their primary mission is to terrorise the populace into submission.
Well if I may be a bit pedantic, that’s merely a consequense of their real primary mission. To safeguard the interest of the capitalist elite. It’s really just a coincidence that terrorising the populace into submission achieves that mission.
Fun fact! The police are the largest gang of armed robbers in the country, collectively stealing more money than all other armed robberies and burglaries combined, and it’s totally legal for them
Civil asset forfeiture is one of those things where when you hear about it your first reaction is that it must be some fringe conspiracy theory because there’s no way the police could get away with something like that, right? But no, it really is that bad and it’s done completely in the open. Cops can just steal your shit out of “suspicion” and the process of getting it back is deliberately labyrinthine and difficult.
And the father of civil asset forfeiture was DNC centrist darling and father of the Israeli genocide of Palestinians himself, Joe racist-dipshit biden, who belongs in prison along with trump and many other american politicians.
