speed camera question

[Mr. Austin]

i was reading an article at a show a couple weeks ago and i may still have it to prove it to u because this is over rediculous but this may set some of u off. a man wrote an article is the az republic ( yes i read it) about how the Europeans and i think swedin are going way out of control. he was talking about how they pay people to fly helicopters that have an on board camera that can judge the speed of a car from the distance of helicopter to ground and fro how fast it is going and if the car is doing 10+ it will take a pic zoom in and take a pic of the plate. NO JOKE!!! now to piss u off even more.. they now have sensors in the ground some places that will measure the wear of your tire and if it is way past due... ticket.. Failure to maintain vehicle... Now to really get to you. you like your old cars? well the also have a sensore that looks much like a rain drain except it will read how much Carbon is leaving your car. oh yes and u certainly will get a ticket for this... thats over board.

Arizona state police plan to turn statewide speed camera program into a surveillance network.
The Arizona Department of Public Safety (DPS) is planning to turn its statewide speed camera program into a spy camera network. According to a written request for proposals sent to various speed camera companies and obtained by the Associated Press, the state police are seeking to include automated number plate recognition (ANPR) technology in its new automated ticketing system. This would allow motorists accused of no wrong-doing to have their movements monitored and recorded for use by police agencies.
The for-profit company selected to operate the camera ticketing program must also "provide computer queries" for "any law enforcement purpose as requested by the DPS designee."
Almost one year ago, DPS expressed interest in installing standalone ANPR cameras to track and identify motorists on Arizona highways. The DPS now says that it is expanding the ticketing program's role to identify stolen vehicles and locate criminals. Oakland, California recently announced a similar plan to turn its red light cameras into spy cameras.
ANPR is in wide use throughout England with every local police force equipped with at least one police cruiser capable of scanning and tracking motorists on area roads. The devices have produced mixed results with thousands of motorists accused of crimes based on misreads by the device or incorrect information in the government database. The system has also criminalized millions of motorists over routine paperwork errors.

I hate those cameras and not because I speed as I generally don't. I hate them out of the principle of the things. We continue to give up one freedom after another and most are too blind to realize the implications of the revocation of each freedom they voluntarily give up.

Welcome to being in parts of Europe folks...soon we will be as watched as the British.
