Default Re: Speeding Cameras

[ QUOTE ]
I don't see what right you believe is being taken away by the use of cameras. I can see an argument to be made about whether the practice does indeed increase safety or whether it doesn't.

Again, what about the use of radar to determine rate of speed? Are you against that as well? How about two cops, one at point X noting the time you are there, another at point Y noting the time you are there, and then using math to determine if you must have been speeding?

For the sake of the discusssion, let's assume all of these things would indeed make the roads safer.

I don't wanna wake up in 10 years only receive a email containing a bill for traveling avg 7.45 mph over the speed limit for 126.25 miles at the current rate of $xx/mph/mile.

It feels a lot more like a cash register than a safety device.

I don't wanna be watched/monitored by big brother.

If they want to actively police, and catch me speeding -- fine.
