Dear editor:
Today I read an article about "flock cameras" and some people who are opposed to them because of a perceived invasion of privacy.
It seems to me that if you are driving a vehicle on a public street or roadway, you have voluntarily given up your right to privacy.
If you are a law abiding person, why do you have to worry about privacy? These cameras are to help catch criminals, not law-abiding people! So what's your problem?
In Las Vegas, Nevada they are fighting this same battle for the same ignorant reason.
Only they are fighting the installation of the cameras in school zones.....where several children have been hit and killed.
More than one driver chose to flee rather than admit guilt. I ask you, who's rights were lost?
A camera would, at the very least, possibly slow speeders down in school zones.
Please, whoever has the last word, leave the cameras, install more! It's time to protect the innocent not those who are afraid they'll be caught breaking the law.
Sincerely,
Charlotte Kalkofen
