Cameras on the street monitored by the state are a complete breech or privacy. If ytou have a camera in your yard and tape someone doing something wrong, you can go to jail for illegal wiretap, yet they can watch you all day for whatever reason they deem? I'm sorry the correct way to deal with these types of cameras is with a scoped rifle.
it's more of a personal thing for me, I REALLY REALLY don't like people watching me. anything from police to the guy driving next to me on the highway. not so much as glancing or looking but stareing(sp?) when ever I look at a camera, I picture a guy in a room somewhere eye balling me and it just... I don't know it's freaky to me
I hope that's not a bit of paranoia showing. I think it's impossible to do anything today without someone watching, your life must be hell.
Personally I enjoy watching people, I think we're fascinating creatures.

SEE IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU THAT DRIVE ME CRAZY AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!, lol
na I don't get paraniod, just really really annoyed.
Everybody complains that cops aren't there when you need them and then when they find a way that they can actually do their job more efficiently, so they CAN be there when you need them, everybody criticizes that.
Stop light cameras are not invading your privacy unless they set one up inside somewhere private. A public street is not private (hence the word PUBLIC). There shouldn't be any expectation of privacy if you are in the public. If they put a camera inside your house, yes that'd be private. IF they put a camera outside your house, you can close the shades.
Cameras on the streets aren't there to catch people doing stuff wrong, they're there to minimize people doing stuff wrong.
Anyways, it's lunchtime.
And this is walkin the line between waterfountain and political threads.

Thats ridiculous. They are there to efficiently create revenue. That is it. That is there primary function. There are plenty of cases where they put them in and lower the speed limit at the same time, or they change the timer so the yellow light is a second shorter.
As far as I'm concerned it doesn't matter what they change. The driver should be aware of what's going on instead of being on autopilot.
They're concern isn't revenue. They're gonna get paid either way. That's what taxes are for.

I was wondering when somebody would step in to defend the trafic cop. We like to blame the cop but really that is like shooting the messenger. The ills of traffic enforcement usually start with the Mayor and work down to traffic cop.
But then, who do you blame when the trafic cop comes to work opens his trunk and takes out the 25 mph sign and his radar gun, and puts them both back in his trunk at the end of the day.
Rules are there to follow.I don't see any problem with speed cameras.
If everybody is driving according to the rules, How can they generate income from speed cameras?
Met was "heavily over-reliant" on speed and red light cameras instead of manpower and this was encouraging record numbers of motorists not to register their cars and to drive illegally

"While the number of cameras has gone up, the number of officers has gone down. What cameras can't do is trace the large number of illegal drivers - to do that you need skilled officers on the ground.

At the same time the number of illegal drivers in London has risen sharply. Police say the number of motorists caught driving without insurance in the capital soared from 997 in 2003-04 to 6,178 in 2005-06, meaning one in eight, or 375,000, London motorists is probably driving illegally.
This sounds like a policy that Detroit has been looking for ---- NOT. This article did not say howmuch revenu has gone up, but I am sure we could find out.

If you say you are 100% compliant with traffic laws then you are either streaching the truth or don't drive.
Garland, the first city in the state to use the cameras, has collected about $3.2 million in fines since the program began in September 2003, said Shelley Franklin, program administrator for the city's red-light cameras. The city's program has grown from four cameras to 12..
Plano has collected $370,186 in gross revenue from March, when the program began, through August. The city has netted nearly $250,000 after paying operating expenses for the cameras, Plano Police Chief Gregory Rushin said.
Denton has collected $329,727, with $219,446 in net revenue, on citations written off six cameras from May through August, said Jon Fortune, Denton assistant city manager
Do you really belive all these people were flying through intersections with out stopping? Then there must be a huge savings in lives and accedents right?
