Getting rid of publicly funded roads and letting the free market do it's thing is sounding better now isn't it?

Because there's nothing stopping the private owner of a road from taking your picture from a van and issuing you a citation if he deems your driving inappropriate. Yep. Privatization fixes everything.

Why would any ACist consider this a problem? If I own a dance club and I say you have to wear a pink shirt to enter, this might be considered unreasonable by some, but if enough people thought this, I would go out of business.

I didn't say it was a problem, but it's the same situation about which the OP was complaining, and shake seemed to suggest would be "fixed" with private roads.

It solves the problem about people complaining about it.

Unlikely, but it removes some of the merit of their complaints.

Well, that's not what I was attempting to suggest. Just read my second post, the one right after the one you quoted. Road owners would have to have there roads accurately reflect driver's preferences in order to maximize profit. If that includes speeding cameras so be it. There is not anything inheritantly wrong with speeding cameras, especially if you're using them to make sure people are obeying the rules on your property and they have been informed of such.
