All very positive, comments from drivers quoted like "it doesn't bother me". Later in the week there was at least one letter to the editor questioning the coverage and raising some of the same rights questions mentioned here. Apparently each car was subject to an external check by drug-sniffing dogs. They managed to catch at least one car with some pot in the ashtray. I am also troubled by it. Probable cause is one thing, but blanket surveillance is quite another. I would think the police would have had better things to do. -- Greg Beaulieu ab348@chebucto.ns.ca Dartmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada
