The highway surveillance cameras are becoming increasingly popular.  Many people consider these an intrusion into the public’s privacy and that the cameras constitute an unreasonable search.  The intrusion is not warranted, because there is no probable cause of wrongdoing.  How long will American’s accept this?  Until every mile of every road is under video surveillance?

The use of surveillance cameras on highways is justified as a means to “monitor traffic”.  That’s lame.  The only logical use of such an extensive network of cameras is to provide state, county and city officials the ability to monitor individuals as they drive on the highways. 

Many people take a so what? attitude about the installation of surveillance cameras.  Many people believe that the cameras will make the road safer.  But . . . what if someday every mile of every road was under constant video surveillance?  Would you like that?  I doubt it!  And, yet, this is closer to fact than nd is EXACTLY the case in Great Britain.
