@rowanmartin, you say walks prevent disasters, but what if they just make everyone too cautious? Doesn't over-checking sometimes cause more delays than the mistakes themselves?

Last spring, our town quietly added license plate readers without telling anyone. We only found out because a cop mentioned it offhand at a community event. A group of us started emailing city council members daily and sharing info on Nextdoor. After two weeks, they agreed to hold a public forum about the policy.
