The alternative is to flood our society with cameras recording our every
move.
Personally, I'd rather continue to ensure that most cops are doing their job
properly, and are out there to enforce vehicle ordinances for everyone's
safety.
In Philadelphia, there is too much work for the cops, and the city is in
poor financial shape and has high taxes paying for a large police force
(among other things including pork). And occaisionally, if a Philadelphia
driver is pulled over by the cops, especially a "bad-ass" type driver who
most deserves to be pulled over, then the driver starts shooting, and the
driver's family and neighbors screech about the cops being murderers for
shooting back (or shooting first).
So, traffic enforcement in Philadelphia is excessively lax - especially
for use of turning lanes as passing lanes. (Philly's cops do seem to have
almost adequate intolerance for red-light-running in recent years at
least.)
