Caltrans makes empty excuses - Whittier Daily News

IT'S common sense: We have cameras monitoring our freeways for congestion, why not record what they view to help solve crimes? The idea first came up in 2005 after a string of deadly shootings on Southland ...

Just because there are cameras everywhere does not mean privacy issues should be thrown out the window, or considered "moot" if that's the way you want to eloquently put it. That's like saying the rest of our civil liberties should be taken away because the current administration has already taken many such actions in the name of antiterrorism.

[Mr James C]

I bet if you were shot at or even killed you or your family would have wished there were cameras recording, RIGHT? I'm not totally for it but if it helps fight crime then go for it. Big brother is watching all the time why do you think we have satellites??
