They also have "speeding cameras" on the highways there. The driver we used while we were there kept complaining about them. Like red light cameras they take a photo. But it also records your speed at the time and sends you a speeding ticket.

That is what will follow the red light cameras and then the surveillance cameras on light poles will come shortly after.

Ah, the Slippery Slope argument. Not always convincing. I'll wait until the cameras are trained on something other than intersections and highways before I worry about Big Brother.

Of course, if you want to argue about a "right to privacy", you can't find such a right in the Constitution, but you will find it mentioned and applied in Roe v. Wade.

Horrors! That means you have to obey the speed limit! How dare the government try to enforce the law! That's not the purpose of government! Wait, no it is. Dooh!
