Fuck cars but also fuck surveillance culture and fuck punitive revenue schemes like cameras that rely on the reality that no one strictly follows the rules to harvest cash from people, with no intention what so ever of actually encouragin people to follow the rules.

I don't think this line of argument holds up to scrutiny. It doesn't work because it's done so little, the panopticon would actually lead to the rules being followed. You don't want that for other reasons, but it'd really do a good job for the problem described here.
