EDIT: since apparently a bunch of people woke up with the wrong foot this morning or forgot to check the group they’re in:
This is a joke. Do not steal or vandalize speed enforcement cameras (or anything else for that matter). That’s against the law and you will likely get arrested.
If you’re addicted to crack or any other drugs, please seek professional help.
We don't like the idea a private company is enforcing laws not for safety but for profit. Especially when things like shortening of yellow light time and cameras that don't properly report speed. It's horseshit.
A private company?
It's not the local government putting them up, it's a private company who is in charge and keeps at least half the revenue. Plus when their location is known and they get less effective the same company will try other things like altering yellow light time length to keep profits up.
Do you have a link explaining this? I searched for "poliisi valvontakamera" and "poliisi nopeuskamera asennus" and didn't find stuff about who puts them up and whatnot or about the income sharing. I have read articles about how they're a nice source of income for the state but no mention of the companies involved.
They’re talking about in the US.
It seems everyone who replied to me was talking about the US haha, while I was talking about Finland
In the USA, many or most speed cameras are owned and operated not by the local police or city, but by a private company that keeps some percent of the fines they give out.
They are contracted by the city, country, or other authority. They are not randomly placed or operated without permission.
I was talking about Finns in Finland complaining about speed cameras.
Capitalism caused a problem?
I don't think we have that problem in Finland and we are a capitalist country.
You can at least pretend you are.
What do you mean?
Us Nords are socialist enough to keep a tight leash on capitalism. Less and less of course, but capitalism doesn't define us, the way it defines basically the rest of the world.
But we are all capitalist countries still, that's what I mean.
Capitalism wreaks a different amount of havoc on societies depending on any number of variables, mostly those which have to do with controlling capitalism.
Yes that's what I was saying
I don't think you were. But I can't be bothered going back to check because I'm too drunk right now.
Maybe read the whole chain while you're sober
Maybe. Maybe not. Maybe go fuck yourself.
