Big Brother is the first thing that a lot of people will cry when they are caught doing something wrong. It seems to me that if people would simply play by the rules, (i.e. stop running the damned red lights!) there would be less opportunity and need for the government to get involved.

There have been credible allegations that where red-light cameras have been installed, the yellow time has been shortened in order to increase the chances of making people violate the law. If government were fair and just, the opposite would have been done.

I don't run red or yellow lights, and I don't speed; but I sure am crying "Big Brother". I don't trust ANYONE who wants to install cameras on every corner, or advocates same.
Abuse and slippery slope incidents WILL happen.
