They recently started doing a lot more digital surveillance/enforcement around here. PD and FD now have drones. My buddy lives by the fire station and we saw it take off and land a few times when we were having a BBQ the other day. Parts of the state now use photo radar on the freeway and it's coming to the rest of the state soon. We also have toll lanes and red light cameras. Flock has a presence, but I'm not sure how widespread. I've been riding my bikes because at least nobody bugs me on the trails apart from the occasional raccoon or flock of geese. I think it's a real privacy concern and we need to slow down before we let this tech replace the current ways of doing things.

I do see the sentiment against enforcement, but that absolutely extends to Officer Clanker. I think we should shift to enforcement by design. Too many roads are built in ways that encouraged speeding and make it feel comfortable. If you put rumbly bricks in school zones, no one will miss a sign.
