Thanks for clearing that up.

Your assertion in this case is that the cameras themselves are not causative?

Rather they are merely tools and it's the people (governments in this case)
that use them improperly which cause the problem? So why ban red light
cameras, they're not the problem! Merely ban their improper use.

Then you agree, presumably, that: "the gun didn't cause the crime--the gun
didn't change the motive of the shooter", right? So why ban guns, they're
not the problem! Merely ban their improper use.

Oh if wishing made it so.  I would love to see the day when we would enact
laws banning the improper usage of guns.  Well, we do already and it's known
as 'the law'.

Indeed. Now just enforce it. Enforce the laws against robbery, burglary,
rape, assault, murder etc, and perhaps there will be less of a problem.

But no, the police are apparently way too busy enforcing other laws like
when shops can be open and what acts consenting adults can engage in in
their own homes. Oh, and laws about whether councils can set redlight
timings to 4 seconds or 7 seconds or not at all.

Excuse me while I just roll on the floor laughing at you. You just don't get
it, do you?

You hereby can have the last word on this tangent, go ahead, make your
followup post and be smug about it. I'm done. You'd rather just cover the
same old blowhard tangential stuff instead of anything worthwhile.

Whatever.
