some food for thought

 

In an article published by Fox News, the intriguing comment is made: "When radar and camera systems are concealed, the public begins to mistrust government and the true aim of using the technology." which mirrors the comments of both proponents and opponents of cameras.

Interesting Read

A good read, thanks for sharing.

yep

"The potential revenues for municipalities and the companies that supply the devices (Nassau County’s contractor, American Traffic Solutions, receives 38 percent of the fines) have proven tempting in some places, leading to allegations of corruption."

Anywhere money is involved the temptation is there. The corruption involving cameras may not be rampant, but it certainly exists.

The lead sentence of the article says:

Quote:

Speed and red light cameras offer the promise of reducing accidents and deaths, but government misuse is preventing the devices from reaching their full potential.

I would say that this was a fairly balanced statement.

Which, given the source

Which, given the source (Faux News), is surprising. In my opinion, it's a haven of yellow journalism.
