Your words are little more than noise. Nobody suggested
cameras in private venues. Rather, the cameras are being
suggested to ensure that people obey the law (or get
punished) in PUBLIC places, where violation of the law
endangers other people, also in those PUBLIC places.

If you've a problem with a ticket issued because of
a camera that is insensitive to the emotional trauma
you experience whilst breaking the law, take the 
photo and your sob-story to the judge... You get
to confront your 'accuser' in the person of the
judge.. rather than the police officer. Again,
what's the big deal? The cameras won't even notice
you if you are not speeding or running red lights...
Your oh-so-important privacy will remain intact as long
as you obey the traffic laws...
