I would argue such enforcement does not need automation and such automation is often for revenue generation vs saftey focused.
Also, I am a bit biased here after working at flock.
I would argue living in the US has rotted your brain.
Don’t want the state to generate revenue? Literally just stop speeding and stop running red lights.
Is there a non-automatic light enforcement other than placing a policemen at every light - which makes the light useless?
Revenu generation is a bonus point: in my country taxes that incentive smokers to quit are directed to healthcare and most of the speeding tickets revenue goes to road maintenance and safety.
I’d prefer a public handling but the trend is privatization with everything : from health to education to water treatment. Even military assets! IMHO red light tickets enforcement is as much important.
