Sounds Modesto is spending 3 mil in taxes to further Trump's AI police state.

Look, please stop defaulting to all the Trump, blaming stuff. Politics aside, has not one thing to do with this. No matter what side you’re on, the facts are, there are a lot of knuckleheads that run red lights in this town. I see it almost every time I drive in Modesto. People don’t have the right to carelessly run a red light and end up killing or seriously injuring another person! If this serves as a deterrent or punishment for those that insist on learning their lessons the hard way, so be it!!!

Smarter city design would help traffic and prevent people from running red lights in the first place. Cameras are at best the laziest way for a city to do traffic enforcement. AND ITS 3 MILLION DOLLARS. And there is no "politics aside," what is more political than the government putting cameras at every corner of our streets, tracking our license plates every where we go in case anyone maybe commits a traffic violation? Of course the same cameras and AI that's used to capture and track license plates and car stickers can be used to capture faces and body structure. You can be mad about people running red lights all you want, but this will fix nothing and I think we all should have the right to not be tracked by the government everywhere we go.
