No and none of us should have to live with cameras constantly pointed at us.
I live in a place with a lot of traffic violence, and there's negligible enforcement. I'm looking for a practical way to keep drivers accountable and reduce the violence.
I think cameras on the intersections have to be part of that strategy. I'm inclined to believe a responsible implementation is possible, and I'd like to see more discussion of what that could look like.
Ok what makes drivers unsafe and unaccountable?
"We gotta stop what makes guys do bad things": lol wtf kinda ignorant ass comment is this
And the people who upvoted it are about as smart
What about a dashcam?
If I'm crossing the street and get mowed down in a hit and run, the car's dash cam footage probably won't be found.
What about a brick?
While tempting, there's a good chance the wielder would be literally killed in response. And unlike drivers killing people, the law would come down hard on someone damaging a car.
