Cars have those and it doesn't stop their drivers jumping red lights or
driving on the pavement.

(yes, lives - cyclist hitting pedestrian can and
does result in death).

Yes but at least there is the POSSIBILITY of enforcement.

How many of us driving a car on a deserted junction late at night would not
inch forward and, for example, make a left-hand turn, if we had no way of being
caught?

How many pedestrians die annually from being hit by cyclists? How many
die from being hit by cars?

That is irrelevant. Cyclists should obey the law like anyone else. Period.
