What if your next speeding ticket came from a machine you can’t question, can’t confront, and can’t appeal?
Gavin Tighe and Stephen Thiele take aim at Toronto's controversial speed camera program, dissecting its implications for justice, privacy, and public policy.
From discussing the opaque review process to sharing personal anecdotes of fines issued without due process, the duo explores how what began as a public safety initiative has morphed into what they argue is a taxpayer-funded surveillance scheme and revenue grab.
Touching on comparisons, legal rights, and political consequences, this episode offers a passionate and provocative critique of automated enforcement and raises pressing questions about the erosion of democratic protections under the guise of road safety.
