A growing number of residents in Brampton are pushing back against the city's use of speed enforcement cameras, demanding their complete removal amid rising concerns about surveillance and affordability. A petition launched by local citizens calls for the immediate dismantling of all Automated Speed Enforcement (ASE) cameras in the city. "We, the concerned residents and taxpayers of Brampton, Ontario, are demanding the immediate removal of all speed enforcement cameras currently installed across our city!" Brampton currently operates 150 speed cameras, with plans to expand the program to 185 by the end of summer 2025. The latest controversy in Brampton also mimics tensions in Toronto, where speed cameras have faced growing resistance and even flat-out vandalism.
