A woman drives with both hands on the wheel. Her phone sits face-down on her lap. No officer pulls her over. No lights flash. Weeks later, a $1,251 ticket arrives in the mail. The evidence: a single frame from a Camera surveillance app. The charge: phone use while driving.

Automated camera companies market their devices as automated license plate readers — tools for catching stolen cars, flagging warrants, and aiding serious investigations.

Sold as a Crime Tool. Used as a Fine Machine.

      You are mixing chocolate and shit. They may look alike but they are certainly not the same.

        Stop mixing chocolate and shit on public roads. Dont do anything private while driving, the only thing you should be doing is paying attention to your driving.
