For example red light cameras. Makes perfect sense right, running red lights is bad as it can cause harm, and harm would be a violation of the social contract.
.... except the cities were commonly taking the yellow light timing down far below recommended levels in order to maximize profits.
AI in a world that demands profits spells the end of freedom.
The example that you’ve given of light profiteering with yellow lights doesn’t sound like the end of freedom to me.
Particularly, if you’re allowed to contest that yellow light fairly and efficiently, using the records from the same cameras and AI technology.
Ideally, you’d just register a complaint and the thing would give you a video and a clear explanation of what did you do wrong and why it was not a good idea. Traffic laws are relatively straightforward after all.
See, this is what the privilege of someone that has the resources to defend themselves sounds like.
>if you’re allowed to contest that yellow light fairly and efficiently,
That's a pain in the ass already in our current system and there is no alignment in our politics that will make it better. If you have money and don't care, you'll pay the ticket. If you have money and do care you'll spend a lot of time with records requests, and resubmitting records requests and pushing trial dates because the system won't give you the records you need in time.
The legal system does in no way work in ideals. It's not until you're on the wrong side of the law you realize exactly how fucked up it can be. It is then you realize how many laws exist that are unenforced until you bring too much attention to yourself.
It still doesn’t sounds like the end of freedom. But yes, ideally the system should be rigged in a way that the amount of money you have doesn’t influence how much it sucks to be on the wrong side of the law. It’s a regressive tax otherwise.
