If I know there's a camera and i stop quickly and someone rams me, well he gets a ticket for following too closely as he should. Don't give him the excuse of "that guy stopped only because of the camera"... no... you stop for the light. You run the light due to lack of camera.
I would LOOOOVE it if all the light-controlled intersections in this town would have cameras set up. I'm sick of watching my advanced green go away because the people in cross traffic are not done running their red light yet, 4, 5, 6 cars at a time. EVERY DAY, EVERY INTERSECTION down the major streets of London (Ontario).
I also want EVERY overpass on the major highways here to have speeding cameras over each lane.
People do stupid things like rear-ending stoppers because they are used to breaking the law. Make them used to following the law and the problem goes away.
Quit your *****ing, nobody is going to tie a shock collar on your neck and install a camera in your bedroom - you read too many books from the paranoid cold war era.

Ridiculous? Think so? Slippery slopes.
The state jacked the taxes on smokes and booze. Everybody said "Why not junk food?" - as if the proposition was too ludicrous to consider. Well now it's being considered.
Got primary seat belt laws now too. Now the cops don't even need the weak excuse that "one of your license plate lights is dim" to pull you over for a cavity search.
Helmet law isn't far behind, I'd imagine.
Got blockades in Fargo "to check for DWIs". True. Stop everybody and check em all out. They'll stop, like, 5000 citizens to get 3 DWIs. They didn't even do that in Nazi Germany... I don't think.
Just you wait. Look at the trend. Freedom my ***.
