(let's not even get into the fact that camera-based enforcement systems *don't work* as unless there's a visible flash drivers may not even know the cameras are there until they receive a ticket in the mail weeks later, and the tickets are by necessity issued to the vehicle, not the driver)
Or do you still support the position that drivers should be *required* to be subjected to them?
If driver "D" is so inebriated that he runs over a victim; if the police were out patrolling the same roads "D" was driving on rather than sitting at a roadblock, there's a better chance he would have been picked up before something bad happened.
