Why pay cops to pull people over when a camera can do it for far less and not cost the manpower? Where I live, you get an automated ticket for even 3 over the limit. The neighborhoods are actually safe to walk around because people aren’t going 50 in a 30. The cops actually wander around and talk to people, helping them instead of being seen as ticket-givers and a potential bad day.

Because a camera doesn't have a boot to lick.

The police get a lot more leeway to do bad things because some percent of society just defaults to giving them the benefit of the doubt.
