Another example of "rules for thee, not for me."
Conservatism in a nut shell.
Not really though. Your name doesn't get posted publicly if you get a speeding ticket. I think there should be a higher level of transparency with government officials, but listing every offence no matter how minor seems petty and wasteful. I think the 70 in a 40 person should deffo be named and shamed though, because that's kinda nuts.
For clarity: I don't condone speeding, and I think the reason for not revealing the names is pretty weak. I'm just saying that this is not a "rules for thee, not for me" situation.
Edit: Lol, I got some downvotes but no discussion. Too bad.
...only if they keep speeding??
STOP BREAKIN' THE LAW, ASSHOLE
How does naming them reveal anything "sensitive?" It's not like the locations and time of day need be included - that I could see being considered too revealing for a current government figure.
I hate it when the wider population knows of my habit of speeding
But speeding is fun
