So you don't mind BIG BROTHER watching you on tv? How about a camera on your street? In front of your house to make certain there are no open containers in your yard or on your front porch ect, or that you are not violating local zoning ordinances like watering your lawn? How far do we go? The law used to stand in most states that violations required an eye witness to the traffic offense and one office could not park at one end of the road telling another officer via radio that car A was speeding write him a ticket for it. The officer operating the radar had to be the one to issue the citation. I still believe that should be the case. It's a Constitutional matter.
I have nothing against good old fashioned speed traps and good old fashioned police work as that is their job. But I do not and I will not support BIG BROTHER setting up SPY GEAR to watch my every move at point A, B, C, or wherever.
But you miss another point. These persons were being required to swear a statement they could not say for certain was true. That in any court of law if you do so is PERJURY a far more serious offense than a traffic violation.
Precisely. ^5s to you.
