Way better than the jackboots hassling you for their income and think the speed cameras cost less and charge less

Only travel with clear tubs now anyways with everything viewable but still especially these days anything can get pulled over

Had camping equipment in the vehicle and got pulled over on suspicion of being homeless before

Shit is real down here y'all must have nicer enforcers

They don't replace cops with speed cameras, the speed cameras are in addition to the jackboot thug behavior.

Well, in a lot of Ontario, we don't really have traffic enforcement. People vandalize these cameras, and then we lose virtually all traffic enforcement.

pulled over on suspicion of being homeless

What even os this, Is it a crime to be homeless?

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

In the US it is effectively illegal by making sleeping somewhere other than a building for 'too long' a crime. Sleeping on the street, and even sleeping at campgrounds for too many days is criminalized. Homeless encampments are destroyed and possessions lost, which is the equivalent of a fine in practice.
