Cape Coral, Florida is looking at a proposal to strap AI-powered cameras onto its garbage trucks. As the trucks roll their normal routes, the cameras would scan yards and house fronts for code violati...
It is like work monitoring that can monitor every keystroke and trip to the bathroom. If you expect people to be 100% rule abiding, perfect and predictable I’ve got news for you. The people putting these systems into place would never stand for them being applied to them.
time your transit from point A to point B, calculate your minimum average speed to make the trip in that time, and mail you a citation when you’re over the posted speed limit?
I’m Norwegian. Read in the news that there was a guy who used to set a timer and count the seconds when driving through a tunnel with average speed cameras so he wouldn’t get fined.
Just keep the speed limit, you’d get there at the same time. Sometimes i wonder how these people even survive.
Normally I’m not fond of complaints with regards to transportation regulation, because there’s usually good safety reason, but sincerely fuck receiving a ticket in the mail I didn’t know I could even receive. I think speed limits help people not die, but there are reasonable ways to do things.
Like the person also replying to you said, I am fine if I’m warned, but otherwise I’m legit just getting my pockets ran.
There’s signs posted in advance that say something along the lines of “Speed Enforcement Camera Ahead”. The only reason they’d be a surprise is if you’re not paying attention to signage. They’re in the mountains, but I’ve mostly seen them out in the flat eastern parts of Colorado where the roads are mostly long straight stretches over flat terrain. Which makes sense, since that’s where it’s easy to speed.
The problem with these, and all, automated systems that detect EVERYTHING is that current code enforcement hardly detects 0.1% of existing violations, by design.
True, but once it’s automated, it can easily be archived for future reference. Then it’s in your file for who knows what future use.

On the one hand, yes, fully enforcing these things would be gross overpolicing.
On the other hand, the selective enforcement is, by design, a way to manufacture an excuse to harass and persecute minorities/undesirables.
The correct solution is to relax or abolish the laws themselves until they diminish to the point that fully enforcing them is reasonable.

Norway does this.

You’re not suggesting the automated mailing of speeding tickets based on average speed is reasonable, are you?

I know that Colorado does this as well. Probably other states in the USA do too. https://www.codot.gov/programs/speedenforcement

And so does the Netherlands. It ain’t magic.

I was looking at this, wondering what I asked Claude to get this, before realizing it is Lemmy.
