    They’re not “speed enforcement cameras” they’re part of a mass surveillance system with the feature that records speed and adds that data along with all the other data it collects and associates with your plate number and any beacons your cell phone is transmitting.

    If it was about speeding or safety they’d design the road better or have police patrolling more often.

    Just take a look at how these systems are abused by the government in the UK and US. Does this still make you feel safe?

      Do you have any proof that the cameras are communicating with cell phones? Do you have any proof that Canada is using these cameras to track plates?

      Toronto can’t seem to catch any of the vandals that are cutting down the cameras and i doubt the suspects leave their phones at home as photos of their destruction often make it onto social media.
