Am I interpreting this letter to the editor correctly? The solution to reduce racial disparity caused by neutral automated traffic cameras because “Black drivers exhibit a higher likelihood of being ticketed by automated speed cameras….” is: 1) Do not install cameras in known “high speed” areas that exhibit a specific racial composition, or 2) If (speeder) caught on camera, include with the mailed citation a questionnaire. Are you: a) unemployed, b) low income, c) no insurance, d) previous moving violations. Answering two or more in the affirmative gets the driver a “pass”; no arrest, no fine. Whom are the winners? Not the neighborhood residents who asked for cameras because the principal goal is safer streets for their children.
The goal is to reduce speeding and reckless driving. As obvious as it is, don’t blatantly speed and quit driving recklessly. Then one doesn’t get the ticket, and pays no fines.
So don’t speed. Thankfully, the shift in 2025 seems to be moving towards common sense.
