San Francisco's 33 speed cameras caused a 79% drop in dangerous speeding, preventing 40,000 speeding incidents every day and saving lives.
Why are we even debating this? Put them everywhere. Now.

polling shows voters strongly support using technology like speed cameras to make our streets safer. The debate isnโt among the public. Itโs in City Hall, where politicians keep resisting what their constituents want.
Are you sure itโs the cameras and not the increased self driving options?
From Silicon to Solution. Supermicro's approach accelerates AI infrastructure with total ownership of the build lifecycle, integrated in San Jose.

good local governance: we might soon be tripling our number of speed cameras (33 current +80) ... btw this is an area where I do support local control: for a technology that doesn't have compliance costs, CA shouldn't need to manually approve adoption
I donโt get why theyโre not used for all crimes
Like get a camera for 6th/mission and go arrest the dealers every time they come back?
Of course a communist would delight in this dystopian vision:
Our cities reduced to a panopticon where every movement, utterance, and impulse is recorded, judged, scored, and sorted.
You are clearly no American. Real Americans cherish liberty.
Surveillance is tyranny.
I don't believe this. 79% drop in law abiding citizens going 10 mph over the speed limit. It does nothing to deter criminals and just puts in a state of being constantly surveilled bv Big Brother. Terrible
โPreventing 40,000 speeding incidentsโ lol โincidentsโ meaning someone speeding causing no accident?? 
These have been in place for 7 months now so whereโs the hard data of decrease in pedestrian traffic deaths YoY???
I wonder how much revenue these generate. $50 for

25mph is too slow for most places.
The cameras are a speed trap, because few people drive that slow.
I'd rather speed bumps be put in real 25mph zones, so you CAN'T drive faster.
The only people that should be monitored 24/7 is politicians
If your entire life is monitored, crime will go down
If you put this chip in your brain so we can monitor, there will be no crime
This is a flat out fucking false statement . DRIVING in San Francisco has decreased 79 % not fucking speeding. The fact that most people who actually live here use Waymo or Robotaxi IS that FACT. This is why people HATE you left wing idiots. You just make up data from the sky
Not hard to guess the City's real take away. Safety or Revenue enhancement?
This is another example of misinformation in action. When crimes, including speeding tickets, are not reported or properly entered into law enforcement databases, then the โresultsโ are simply intended to propagandize perspectives.

During a Huntington Park City Council Meeting, Chief of Police Cosme Lozano at Huntington Park Police Department had the following to say when asked on their Knightscope partnership renewal:
โThe reality is that a patrol officer cannot do what modern technology can do through
The media could not be played.
