Surveillance State totalitarianism blah blah blah I know:
You're wielding a deadly weapon with the kinetic energy of a small bomb in a public space. You should be forced to obey the rules by any means necessary. Fuck your freedom: speeding endangers everyone!
Negative votes for essentially just saying people should drive safely and have that be enforced with technology. Gotta love it
Libertarians and Anarchists I assume. An unholy alliance.
Governments exist to enforce rules.
Speed limits are the closest thing to a universally good rule you can imagine but "Big gubbmint bad" means that people gut react to it and throw a fit.
I kinda expected it but felt it needed saying: fuck speeders.
