I don't like these things.I do believe they have a place in this crazy world.It is all about control.I would not mind them being used to help figure out where more law enforcement should be placed.But a camera being used as law enforcement device?No.Accident resolution would be ok.I am a type that also believes if one is alone on a highway speed limits should not apply.Why should one stop at a deserted intersection?Waiting at a red lite for nothing to pass by is frustrating and stupid,really.But you better wait,mite be on film.Get a citation in the mail.

Or, maybe the Gub'nant could just charge a flat rate for the amount of bodies stuck to your grill ;D Of course, children under the age of 7 would be half price.

I read about a spray, that when applied to the license plate would have too much of a glare to be photo'd.

they tested the paints and many, many other voodoo methods of shielding your plates on Mythbusters.
BUSTED them all!

As for me, I don't mind them since I STOP at red lights. Imagine that!
Actually I tend to WELCOME them in StL, since they usually tend to go up at intersections where I would routinely see 3-4 cars go through on a red after the lights changed. Cameras go in, and a few days later the scofflaws have mysteriously stopped cold-turkey.  Funny how that works.

though at one intersection I do miss seeing the badass motorcycle cop who would hide behind the bushes in the park on the corner and tear out chasing them down.. Very fun to watch. That dude had some mad riding skillz.

Fine so okay am i assume once we had the magic eye in the sky everywhere...will their be a need for human traffic enforcement anymore...Will i see the counties/town/city downsize the police cars to a electric ford escort station wagon...Is all that horsepower they have now be a thing of the past...Maybe they just scoot around on segways or bicycles..

Ya,civilians needn't be as concerned as traffic cops,probly.We lose a little money in fines,cops lose their jobs.This way we all LOSE.Except the polly tishuns.They will find a way,to keep the cash flow.
