Well, you see, it would be illegal for them to put a camera in
your house without a warrant.  Putting up a camera in a public
place is perfectly legal.  Now, are you against the camera
itself or what they do with the pictures it takes?

I like the idea of the cameras for people who run stop lights.
I would prefer the cameras were visible and MARKED rather than
hidden, as I feel they would be more effective that way.  If people
know the cameras are there, they won't even commit the crime,
and it will lessen the burden on our pitiful legal system.  Those
who are just bone-head stupid enough to do it ANYWAY get what
they deserve ANY TIME of day, not just when there happens to be
a cop there.  Hidden cameras serve to make money for the gov't.
Visible cameras serve to protect other drivers.
