AI writing tickets for phone use in construction zones.

Funny story.. Amanda got knicked for speeding in a 25mph zone. If she had been using a handheld device, she could  have taken a safety course that lowered the points to zero. Since she wasn't on her phone, no distracted-driver discount applies. Full points. Full fine. 

Why create laws that won't be enforced? If this ARDOT system actually works, I will be surprised. 

Are there similar programs in effect that yield satisfactory results, or just more government pandering without the side effects of actually working?

The problem I see most often is signs alone aren't effective. I commute to/from work on the turnpike and the 18-whoolers don't give a flying fuck about speed limits signs or construction zones. No cop? No enforcement. Money spent without results is likely.

I'm officially on probation in St Louis and have never been arrested. Could have paid the ticket and gotten two points. Went to the court date and prosecutor would only offer deferred sentencing.

Baited. Traveling in the right lane, semi cruising in the middle lane, accelerated to not be sitting on his right too long. County cop in the median as soon as I got past it.

I would've done the same, we all have done that. So you are guilty. Deferred sentences are a good deal actually. Stay out of trouble for a year and it goes away, record and all. Got me out of a weed rap when I was a kid.

Seems pretty stupid for a speeding ticket though.
