Do red light cameras unreasonably violate privacy?
Most people agree that driving on public roads is a regulated activity as well as a right. By obtaining a license, motorists agree to abide by certain rules—to obey traffic signals for example—for the health and safety of all. Neither the law nor common sense suggests that drivers should not be observed on the road nor have their violations documented. When citations are issued, the only recognizable person in the photos is the driver—all passengers’ faces are carefully blocked out.
