Yes, obviously. Ffs how is this post so full of authoritarian assholes who think more law enforcement (not even done by real people mind you, but by a machine with no sense of nuance or anything) is the solution to anything other than strengthening a fascist government?
Leaving traffic safety to human police, discretion often means racist biases and outcomes.
Computers end up racist as well.
It's not authoritarian to use technology to improve people's lives. If you're in a public place, you're subject to being photographed by any number of circumstances both human and machine. How to balance it so that it isn't abused is a valid argument to have, but disregarding tech because it could run amok isn't a reason to forsake it altogether.
