Wowsers, sounds like a marxist paradise, if ever there was one.

Of course, coming out of the part of FloriDUH that helped put pregnant/hanging chads into the lexicon, this doesn't surprise me.

No kidding, check out this prior FR thread:
Florida Town to Use Surveillance Cameras (On Everyone)

MANALAPAN, Fla. April 27 One of the nation's wealthiest towns will soon have cameras and computers running background checks on every car and driver that passes through.

Police Chief Clay Walker said cameras will take infrared photos recording a car's tag number, then software will automatically run the numbers through law enforcement databases. A 911 dispatcher is alerted if the car is stolen or is the subject of a "be on the lookout" warning.

Liberals are loving Florida. This is from an interview with that police chief:
Once the news got out that we were going to be taking pictures and running the results through a database we received a flurry of media inquiries. Most of the media people, Paula Zahn, people from the Today Show, Associated Press, were trying to sensationalize the "Big Brother" aspects, but you know the courts have basically held that you have no expectation of privacy on a public roadway. The only databases that we were going to check were the same databases that the State of Florida makes available to the general public over the Internet right now! It's not telling us who you are, or what kind of history you have, it's not getting into your private situations. We will have digital cameras in conjunction with the PIP's cameras that will be able to take photographs of the drivers if the windows aren't tinted too darkly...

Unfortunately, there's not too many true Conservatives left these days (and at times it seems like it's a dirty word in the GOP).
