A topic that is being discussed in CT, is the use of cameras, to photograph the plates of cars that run red lights. There are mixed views on this, with some claiming that it violates their civil rights. (Man those words are used so much, they must feel abused..LOL) Others, one being the Mayor of one of the cities looking into this, say that in todays world, rights are violated all the time. He used the fact that the majority of cell phones today, have picture, audio, and video capability, so technically, someone could be recording or snapping shots of you, and you'd never know it. He further goes on to say that its a shot of the plate, nothing else.
So, what are your thoughts on this? Do you live in an area that uses this system already? If so, what are your thoughts on it?
