>Fourth, what will the state do with that data from speed cameras? We've already seen the abuses with automated license plate readers. See the article at EFF about those abuses.
This is often overlooked by the authoritarian crowd. They should be careful what they wish for. The first thing the state will do is sell the data to the private sector, if not specifically prohibited by law..
The first customers will be the insurance industry.
You raise excellent points.

Red-light cameras undermine rule of law
>Specifically, use of these cameras could violate the Sixth Amendment. The Confrontation Clause grants criminal defendants the right to be confronted with the witnesses against them. Since it is a camera and not a person that witnessed the offense, such violations generally cannot be considered a criminal offense. The ticket is issued to the owner of the vehicle, not to the person driving it, leaving a lack of certainty as to the identity of the offender.
> Therefore, the “ticket” in most places is nothing more than a civil fine, making enforcement and collection difficult. To date, governments have avoided this problem by requiring payment of the fine before motorists can renew their driver’s license or auto registration. Although there generally are appeals procedures, they typically do not give drivers a day in court. In other words, what happened to being innocent until proven guilty?

Every time someone introduces facts inconvenient to the gun fetishists narrative, they clap their hands over their ears and down vote.
As if that will change the facts or make them go away
Such children.

> Education isn't the highest
The fact that CT is a blue state contradicts that statement.
The more educated states tend to be blue. That states with poor public education tend to be red .

American Thinker provides cover and a platform for whacko extremists. Its a garbage disinformation site.

>Faced with a lawsuit from Dominion Voting Systems, Lifson acknowledged that the site had relied upon "discredited sources who have peddled debunked theories"
>...the site had in 2014 published a complimentary piece on white nationalist Jared Taylor and in 2015 asserted that rainbow-colored Doritos are a "gateway snack to introduce children to the joys of homosexuality
I will however, enjoy this thread.

In the eyes of the participants each"good guy with a gun" thought they were stopping a bad guy with a gun.
Why? because both civilians had guns on the street.

Most gun crimes are not committed by mentally ill people. Why do you gun fetishists always trot out the same old disproven tropes.
