Ironically, the right to privacy was questioned by Alito when he helped nullify Roe v Wade. It will be "interesting" to see what other things we consider private aren't private in the eyes of this court. And even more "interesting" to see the converse.

Interesting.

We have a joke over here in Germany that if you want to commit a crime, be sure to do it in a car - keeps you out of prison.

The core issue is those red light cameras create a persistent database of who is where, which is then sold at a marginal cost to whoever wants it to advertise to/manipulate/track a population. Adding cameras everywhere invites a dystopian nightmare vs better urban design and occasional traffic police would solve the same problem.

Write the legislation so data is not retained/sold. Don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

i grew up somewhere that had red light cameras, the idea that they are selling the data is BS justification for diminished state capacity to enforce something really important.

e: for those downvoting, please point me to a single case of a municipality selling red light violation data if this is such a real concern
