Traffic Cameras: The Sheep are Fighting Back!

You'd assume that the American people would get pissed when Big
Brother puts x-ray machines that can see their most private parts at
airports, or when their telephones are tapped and their emails are
being checked, but NO, they are only concerned about the traffic
cameras that do indeed a great job of calming traffic and making a
little bit safer for those at the bottom of the food chain like
motorcycles, cyclists and pedestrians...

The right of the predator to run wild is sacred, but the right of the
prey to be safe is not. Funny sheep, they are so easily manipulated.

(I quote)

"The village of Schaumburg, Ill., installed a camera at Woodfield Mall
last November to film cars that were running red lights, then used the
footage to issue citations. Results were astonishing. The town issued
$1 million in fines in just three months.

But drivers caught by the unforgiving enforcement -- which mainly
snared those who didn't come to a full stop before turning right on
red -- exploded in anger. Many vowed to stop shopping at the mall
unless the camera was turned off. The village stopped monitoring right
turns at the intersection in January.

Once a rarity, traffic cameras are filming away across the country.
And they're not just focusing their sights on red-light runners. The
latest technology includes cameras that keep tabs on highways to catch
speeders in the act and infrared license-plate readers that nab ticket
and tax scofflaws."

NOTE: Traffic cameras are common in Europe, where people get
rebellious about other stuff.
