How is privacy not being violated with red-light cameras?
Red-light camera systems can be designed to photograph only a vehicle’s rear license plate, not vehicle occupants, depending on local law. Only vehicles driven by motorists who violate the law are photographed. Most people agree that driving on public roads should be a regulated activity not just a right. Neither law nor common sense suggests that drivers should not be observed on the road or have their violations documented. The U.S. Supreme Court has clearly ruled that there is a lesser expectation of privacy while operating a motor vehicle than in other venues.
