holy shit, please tell me you're not actually naive enough to believe this. or hell, don't tell me. either way, the fact that you even thought this enough to write it down is exactly why we end up with surveillance states - you and a bunch of other rubes can honestly suggest that public action can be shaped toward a specific intent, rather than splintered by any attempts to force people to act a certain way, either by directive, coercion, or manipulation. I don't know if you just didn't give it enough consideration before writing it down, or if you are honestly unaware of human behavior, but either way the sentiment is fucking things up for a lot of people.

Yeah it's a bit of wishful thinking from my side, I confess.

> exactly why we end up with surveillance states

Hate that. This is why I wrote that it looks like there is no privacy-preserving way to trap ALL speeding drivers, although I have been corrected on that specific part.

What I wanted to say is that I would love for road infractions to be fined all the time so that people would know that there is no free ride.
