America must be crazy carbrained, because in Victoria, Australia, which is decently carbrained, this number of violations would have your licence revoked: https://transport.vic.gov.au/Road-rules-and-safety/Demerit-points#h2-egz05
Same in the UK, would have been an automatic driving ban already with that many occasions of speeding - no difference between a camera and a cop here, they both count exactly the same.
Here in North America many people claim cops are violating our rights by doing radar, pulling people over etc. Many of those same people claim the cameras are also violating their rights and celebrate when the cameras are vandalized by paint, removal, smashing, or thrown in a lake.
Seems to me people just don't want to be reminded that speeding is in fact dangerous and illegal and drivers should be held responsible and accountable for it.
