To: Got a right to Life? . . Huh?
Wait, what am I missing here? They put a hidden camera on a sign on their own land, to be able to get photos of anyone that does steal the sign? Is that it? If so, why shouldn't they be able to do so? I could do that in front of my own house if someone was regularly attacking my mailbox.

Post #1:If you think that these cameras where actually placed to safeguard some wilderness signs and that such actions are acceptable, we are farther down the road towards a totalitarian nation than most of us fear.

There are laws restricting the video taping of others without their knowledge or concent, especially on their private property. You could video tape your mail box, but you could not as a public agency include a vast area of private property in the frame without a warrant.
