Sounds like it'll hit poor people the hardest so I guarantee it.

They can choose not to litter?

I'm all for debilitating fines for littering. I can't walk ONE single street without seeing garbage on the side of it. These people who litter need to be held accountable, and if they get fined so be it. Maybe they'll think twice next time before being a garbage human being

Just saying, great use of AI. /s

Could've used it to detect drunk drivers, egregious moving violations, monitor movements of suspects, estimate emissions from traffic. Nope. Gotta crack down on lazy people.
