I’m still interested to hear if people think that traffic penalties should be punative, a deterrant, a revenue source, or some combination therein?
I think people dislike traffic cameras because of the “Big Brother” nature, and they’re always present. At least with live police officers it’s a bit like a game. “Oh, you caught me!”. Alternatively, in the case of an officer, you can direct your anger towards the cop, rather than towards society as a whole, or at the person driving the car.
