"Let’s see. If you have a late GM car, it can be shut down by remote control. If you have a new Smart Meter from the utility company, they can cut your power with the push of a button. If you’re a bit late making it through the intersection, the camera flashes and the fine here is $451. Go too fast? Same thing."

Well aren't we glad it's not the 19th century when they hung you for just borrowing a horse for a run to the grocery store? Come on, folks, get a grip.

Focus on the big issues, the red light cameras don't do anything if you don't. So don't. Unless pushing the edge is really what you are about. If so, then why should anyone have sympathy for you? You are defining "freedom" as being able to get just beyond what the law says. Re read your post...it reeks of rebellion.

“You are defining “freedom” as being able to get just beyond what the law says.”

Not at all. Life isn’t so black and white, there are many shades of gray. I do my damnedest to be a model citizen, but there are occasions when you inadvertently blow a light, either by misjudging the length of the yellow or some other distraction as you approach the intersection.

Technology should NOT be used as a weapon by the state against the citizenry. Period.

“Re read your post...it reeks of rebellion.”

Reeks? An interesting description that says much about your preference for subservience. Given the changes I’ve seen in just my one lifetime, I’d say rebellion may not be a bad thing.
