Milking motorists is very profitable. Stopping more problematic crime, not so much.
So we end up with anarcho-tyranny, where 'real' crime is policed poorly, if at all - but loads of resources and tech are deployed aggressively policing+punishing mostly-law-abiding people for the most minor of infractions.
This has nothing to do with "milking motorists", whatever that means. (The phrase generally seems to be used by people who are angry that they can't speed and run red lights with impunity).

Forcing motorists to pay for minor infractions is the entire point of the app.
So when actual criminals leave their stolen getaway car idling as they go and loot a store, the owner of the stolen car now gets an extra fully-automated fine with likely no way to appeal it, and the real criminals get away free.
Upvoting this because I needed the laugh.
The law applies to commercial vehicles. The aggregate effect of commercial vehicles ignoring the law isn't minor. You can find out more by following the links at the top of the page.

Bullshit. Many comments here, not mine, are disappearing at a rate that in 10 years I've never seen.

I don't want to ban you! I'd appreciate it if you'd stop posting these off-topic comments though.
Everyone goes on tilt sometimes; it happens. But please stop.
