Why? Plenty of people drive in areas with speed cameras, isn't that exactly how they work?

I'm not sure it is hyperbole or that we should assume competence/good faith. Multiple studies have shown that traffic laws, specifically, are enforced in an inconsistent matter that best correlates with the driver's race.
