I guess I'm still unclear as to this mentality. Elwood probably brought up the best point, being that the camera may not show the driver in which case the owner of the car has to prove it wasn't him driving. But if the cameras that catch you running a red light can take a picture of the driver, why can't these speedtrap cameras do the same?

And if these cameras could take a picture of the driver, how is this any different than a police car hiding with the radar gun out? It seems that most here don't have trouble with the laws regarding the speed limit, so why the reaction to enforcing those laws?

For the ACists, pretend that I'm talking about a private road with private enforcement because that would be my ideal scenario.

we don't need government up our rearends raping us like this and we don't need joe private road owner doing this either. This is simply another method of forced tax collection and not public safety in the vast majority of cases.

Collecting taxes (fines) from lawbreakers. Excuse me if I don't show much sympathy for your "right" to break the rules.

Why is this so egregious but the highway patrol car on the side of the road with the radar gun is ok? And if that's not ok, is any enforcement of the speed limit ok?
