But you don’t prevent crime with a harsh punishment, you prevent it by guaranteeing the person gets caught.
You know how you stop reckless driving? Automatic traffic cameras on every road that send you a nice fat fine whenever you violate the rules of the road.
You’d save thousands of lives every year if every major road was monitored in this way.
I’m still for it. Nobody who’s behind the wheel of a car should have any privacy, since the tiniest mistake or moment of inattention on their part can kill or maim multiple other people in a fraction of a second.
Imagine instead of roads were designed to discourage speeding, we weren’t as car dependent, and we started taking both drivers Ed and consequences seriously?
If we are going to choose a technological solution then making autonomous emergency braking and electronically speed-limited cars mandatory would actually help more.
Yeah that, coupled with building safer infrastructure, and investing in pedestrian, bicycle, and public transportation infrastructure in order to get people out of cars in the first place.
I feel for the dad.

“Guys, we just have to implement a surveillance state to cut down on traffic violations!”
You see how dumb that sounds when you rephrase it?

Oh yes, because cameras are so very selective and only watch when a car is driving by and only watch the person operating the vehicle.
Everyone ELSE should not be expected to sacrifice their privacy is the point you’re entirely missing.
And your imaginary privacy isn’t worth my life of the lives of the people I care about is the point you’re deliberately ignoring.
Your car and your phone are already surveilling you. You’re just arguing against automatic traffic fines at this point
Flock you, looking for a surveillance state

Yeah I’d love a non-car oriented transit system but unfortunately 80% of the world would fight you tooth and nail to keep their metal livingrooms.
The automatic and guarantee fines would do a lot of work getting people on board to ditch the cars.
There’s a big fucking difference between 120 hours community service and harsh punishment for killing someone’s family
I did 40 hours for marijuana possession.
Edit. i guess each human life is worth about an oz of pot
You don’t curb crime with harsh punishments? So hefty automated fines for minor traffic infractions isn’t harsh punishment?
You are clueless.
A harsh punishment is something like life in prison, glad I could clear that up for you 👍
You’re clueless!
In what way am I the 1995 teen comedy staring Alicia Silverstone?

Disagree hard. The punishment needs to be so severe that these dirtbags never get another chance to ruin people’s lives ever again, period!!!
