    It’s one thing to ban bicycle lanes, but something else to ban speed cameras. The issue I have with speed cameras is how they are used for surveillance and tracking. In that case the people deserve public access to the data.

      Speed cameras shouldn’t record all the time?

      Just make them use radar (or lidar) and snap a picture if a car is going too fast. Zero privacy issues with that.

      not sure if opening camera data to the pubic is the solution, wouldn’t that just let anyone track anyone?

        You say that as if it isn’t already trivially easy to do with OSINT. That’s not to say privacy is a lost cause by any means, but we have to pick our battles.
