But privacy isn’t the only concern: Some residents worry that speed cameras could become a cash cow for cities, though the bill’s authors aim to address that with the restrictions on how money collected through the program can be spent. So what are the bill’s chances this year? Friedman worries that “somebody is opposing this bill and back-channeling opposition,” though she’s not sure who.
Passage of the bill would be the first step. It’s when citations start dropping that we’d see results from this sort of program — meaning drivers are slowing down, which would make streets safer for everyone.
