Possibly, but the cameras will keep on looking where they are pointed.
Cops would be deployed to bust dangerous speeding commuters
or criminals who refuse to wear seat belts. Hard core offenders.
Cameras should be pointed farther South. At the border.
And it’s a lot better if your dog gets shot by the cameras.
You forgot failing to signal a turn ;)
In my case, DWI taskforce cops were running their ticket racket up the street (4 squad cars at least) while I was getting mugged at gun point.
Even yelling for police afterwards (when the attackers drove off) didn’t turn their heads.
The first cop I approached got the hell out of there in the opposite direction without ever taking down my statement.
The next one took my report, gave me a case number, and never followed up.
The DWI taskforce (that was there every weekend for months before that) was gone the following night/months.
My event never appeared in any of the online maps of reported crime in my neighborhood.
I contacted the business who’s parking lot I was robbed in, but they denied there was any security camera footage.

LOL. Good post.
On a more serious note, I believe cops now have camers mounted on the rear of their cars to constantly capture license plate numbers that are fed into a database with date/time stamps. Frightening stuff.
I have always thought we needed to separate traffic enforcement from regular police.
I wish they would get out and nail speeders. I was almost clipped twice on Tuesday by cars weaving in and out of traffic. I haven’t seen a cop on US 290 in years. But a fender bender will bring out a slew of cops, constables and fire engines.
Oh, and the other place you’ll see a lot of cops in Houston is quitting time at factories. The factories pay them to stop traffic.
Doesn’t matter where they’re being pointed if they’re not turned on. Did you see any motorcycles in D.C.? All I saw were stills of nearly vacant streets even at rush hour proving to the world the million bike event didn’t happen.
