      I think the fact that car deaths are skyrocketing in the US and the UK is even more absurd since modern cars are supposedly “safer” with all of their safety tech.

      SUV vs. Bicycle: cyclist dead.

      I think deaths jumped a bit post COVID but I don’t think they are skyrocketing. Do you have a source?

        I looked it up. They aren’t skyrocketing.

        The numbers dropped due to lockdown, then bounced up and are stable.

        I hate this cult of negativity - just make up how everything is getting worse in order to hand more power to the government.

        The casual and bovine l way it all happen is disgusting.

        I understand your pov but I feel it’s misplaced. You are in public in a vehicle. You are in public on a side walk. The same laws that have been used to record police are the same being used here. You have no expectation of privacy in public and if you are seen or recorded breaking a law that is on you.

            I don’t think you understand my point. It’s been made clear the First Amendment applies to filming anyone, including police, in public. Any policies that try to bypass that will be destroyed in court. Those same rules apply to all of us as well.

            We can absolutely be recorded in public.

      100% agree. It flags infractions, you have people verify what was being flagged, due course follows.

      Yup, and some of these are quite serious. But a cop at the side of the road could stop these people instantly. These people won’t find out that they have broke the law for two weeks. Or they could just kill themselves/someone else/both half a mile up the road.

      There is a name for that sort, the safer the item is the more reckless the person becomes.
