Right, and while we're at it, we can stop theft by having the thieves choose not to steal.

If your approach is that we can fix abuses by having the abuser write down rules that say they're not allowed to abuse us, why limit it to public surveillance? Stick cameras in everybody's houses while we're at it. Think of all the horrible crimes that go on behind closed doors. Solve the privacy issues with legislation.

If red light cameras are incorrectly calibrated, that seems like something that could be challenged in court and changed.

People have a constitutional right to privacy in their own homes.

There's a pretty big gulf between "unalloyed good" and "ripe for abuse, but the courts might save you."

"People have a constitutional right to privacy in their own homes."

When the current administration is wiping its ass with the constitution on a daily basis, are you really so daft you can't see the direction we're headed in as a society in regard to an unregulated surveillance dragnet?

People have a constitutional right to due process and to not get murdered in the street by ICE (that's pronounced T-R-A-I-T-O-R, btw) but look how well that's been going.
