Oh yeah? And I am pretty tired (I'm a native) of Little Brother twits
who have moved here from California, drive like madmen, and just play
the percentages as they go through red lights and past stop signs,
deciding *they* are the law, and to hell with anyone elses. Your
freedom ends at the tip of my bumper. Having gone to the hospital after
a nut ran a stop sign and plowed into a car on the side where my
daughter was sitting, I don't have a problem with photo cop. A lot
more cost-effective than hiring more cops to watch how you drive on
the *public* roads, where you already have surrendered your 'privacy.'
