True. But do we want humans doing the enforcement? How many humans would you need? What about night? What about equality of enforcement?

I touch on some of the issues https://hackernoon.com/cameras-as-traffic-cops-99a85513e1e0 I am unsure.

I think as a general rule we always want humans doing the enforcement, Confrontation Clause and all that.

Plus anything that brings us closer to The Total Surveillance State I'm generally against.

If there is video evidence of the offence that can be brought to court, is this a concern for you?

If there is a chronic disregard for particular laws due to the fact they cannot be enforced on a large scale by humans, then what do you propose as a solution if we're discarding video surveillance?

I see your point... cameras everywhere to catch all the non-violent drug offenders then?
