Annnnd.... the money shot:

"Buttigieg's strategy recommends pilot programs to study and promote greater use of speed cameras, which he says could provide more 'equitable' enforcement than police traffic stops, as the cameras will have no awareness of the race of the driver."

Do they do ANYTHING that's not driven by identity politics?

@mik but, red-light cameras somehow CAN determine the race of the driver:

No surprise there.

[LuFins Dad]

Yeah, traffic lights are racist.

The programmer who sets up that camera will probably set it up to favor people who look like him.

I think that's is how it usually works.
