I think red light cameras at a few specified HIGH RISK intersections would be okay, but south Florida has become a surveillance-ridden area, where someone’s EVERY MOVE could be tracked.
I do not like it.
The motion passed 4-1, making Hallandale Beach the first city in Broward County to get rid of the cameras.
Mayor Joy Cooper dissented, saying the cameras help stop red-light runners and make the city’s streets safer.
Recently a woman went missing in Margate (Broward County). There were pictures of her on Bus cameras, Surveillance Cameras, Red Light Cameras and traffic cameras, but these pictures did not help the authories at all. Her body was found by someone some time later.
All the surveillance in the city did nothing to either prevent or solve her murder, but it did reveal to “We The People” how our every move is monitored.
The purpose of these cameras has never been safety or crime prevention.
It’s all about money.
And spying on Americans.
Do you carry a cell phone? If you do, don’t complain about the ability to track your movements. If you carry the equipment they need to track you, you are asking to be tracked, IMO.
