One day dh and I were driving down the road in the area by where we live. By the side of the road there was a sheriff's van. There was no one in it. It was one of those surveillance type vans that had a traffic camera in it to catch speeders and such.

Honestly this particular road is so busy and only 2 lanes that it's kinda hard to speed anyway because it is usually backed up with traffic.

However anytime my dh see something like that he just goes off on one of his tangents. How our privacy is being invaded by the government. The cops are too lazy to do their job etc..... You get the point.

Now I get the point about privacy. I mean once you allow "big brother" to do one thing it opens the door to others. However it doesn't bother me. I figure I am out in "public" and if "whoever" deems they need cameras around then whatever. How is it different then stores having cameras to catch shoplifters and such?

I believe cameras out in public keep honest people honest, so to speak. If I have no intention of breaking the law why would it bother me? Obviously for dh it is the point of privacy cause he has no intention of breaking the law either.

Do cameras out in public, in any form of "surveillance" bother you? Are you aware of them? Do you care?
