Hey man why should you be worried about public cameras if your not commiting a crime? I mean you have no privacy in when you in public anyways...and it reduces crime quite a bit...I don't see a valid arguement against them....

1. The oft-used slippery-slope argument.
2. F ups in the system. (Hence the 1984 reference). 3. Corporations getting ahold of such information (insurance companies, etc.). Like having a black box in your car. I'm sure it reduces speeding quite a bit, but if your auto insurance company knows that you have a tendency to brake hard, finding a cheap rate could be difficult. -------------------- |

[right][snapback]209704[/snapback][/right] I can understand the argument against the auto one, but not really the public camera, though the arguments against both are one in the same, protecting your right to break the law
