    I’m not disagreeing with you, but rich people get caught by these traffic cameras as well. The fees just don’t sting as much for them because it’s a smaller percentage of their overall wealth.

    It’s insult on top of injury that they target poor and middle class neighborhoods with these cameras.

      That is true, but in this case they installed them in what were previously redline districts nearly exclusively, and nowhere near the business or government districts.

        Bro I’m not disagreeing with you.

        I think it’s silly to believe that not a single well-off person travels through those intersections ever though.
