I'm with you. We have DOT cameras on practically every corner in the city and on several intersections in outlying areas.http://www.metrokc.gov/kcdot/mycommute/index.cfm

In fact we have them all over the state. wsdot.wa.gov

They are there to monitor traffic congestion and delays. I don't think that they are used regularly by police for traffic violation enforcement, but they are monitoring all aspects of the flow of traffic. If a person steals a car these cameras are used to show his route so that law enforcement can.....and do......track and apprehend.

I can go online to view an area of congestion and determine whether or not I wish to use that route when I travel.

I don't get the objection or the "big brother" aspect because cameras are every where any way and everyone knows it. We're all being watched when we travel by car. If one ticket can result in a person taking more care while driving....and avoiding an accident.......it makes it very worthwhile imo.

I think the objection is being caught in the act and having to pay the fine.
