With what this is going to potentially cost, it can’t be a cash grab. The police say it will be hard to enforce, the initial implementation costs could approach $800mm and the ongoing cost increases are in the tens of millions per year. Unless they put camera on every single block, which they are currently barred from doing, they’d never recoup the money.
They’ll frame it as improving safety and it’s worth it if it saves even one life. Anyone who disagrees doesn’t care about safety on the streets and is the reason why the lowering of the limit is needed.
