      easy solution to that is to keep destroying them until they’re not financially viable to keep replacing them

        As an Australian I must tell you that speed cameras are awful. Until you know what it’s like to never want to put your foot down even when it’s safe to do so then you won’t understand why they suck so much. Massive speeding fines or instant loss of license. Doesn’t matter what the conditions were.

        Point to point cameras are awful too. If you get from camera A to camera B too quickly that’s also a fine or loss of license.

        I’ve never been fined or anything like that because I do the speed limit, but sometimes it would be nice to stretch the legs of the car a little more when it’s safe.

        Failing that I’ve got to drive about an hour away to find somewhere quiet with a low police presence. We have ridiculous discourse shoved down our throat such as “every km/h over kills” meanwhile our highest highway speed zones are 110 (70mph), with most being 100 (60mph), with no flow of traffic discretion.

        The moment speed cameras are introduced they’re not going away since they are lucrative for bringing in revenue.

      California government is broke and needs more money. This is an easy way to get some easy cash.
