alt Hacker NewsThis will never be a thing in America. Good luck putting the camera on a pole higher than a redneck can shoot a rifle.

We already have speed cameras Al over NYC. Often the posted speeds there are 25 leading to some absurd tickets.

1. Shooting rifles in an urban area sounds like a great way to go to prison.
2. As of 2026, most rednecks seem to be all for the police state. Don't expect them to come save you.
Sounds like a new remit for the NRO. Park a billion dollar satellite over an area to keep an eye out for petty vandalism. Then the sheriffs office can team up with Space Force: papers will be served immediately by LEO MIRV deployment, which may also count as execution depending on visibility and aim on the day.
/s - but it wouldn't surprise me at the rate things are going.
