Re: Speeding Cameras

[/ QUOTE ]A breathalyzer in every car is very different, just like a camera in your car or house would be different. Just so you know, I would be opposed to UK-style CCTV cameras on every street corner. But cameras operated by human beings aren't really a huge expansion in law enforcement efficiency.

Surely a breathlizer will save more lives than a van parked taking pictures of speeders. I would like to see some statistics on how these cameras are making our roads "safer." And think back 10 years ago and then to present day, and tell me you do not think that we are going to have cameras on every corner and street in the next 10 years.

I remember about 8 years ago, they talked about installing stop-light cameras at intersections, and there was the same sort of, "Oh no, slippery slope, big brother in 10 years" talk. If someone tries to put CCTVs on every street corner, then I'll oppose it. If they want to have people take pictures of speeders and ticket them, more power to them.
