The traditional response to that has been the police station sending back a picture of handcuffs.  :D

cameras have really taken off in the past 10 years.  the technology is getting better and better, the gear is getting cheaper and tending to all digital,  and immediately accessible, and efficiently transferred anywhere.

you just have to remember that everywhere you go these days, you are on camera.  its creepy.

I can see them taking a picture of a pair of handcuffs and sending it back along with a pic of a big black man in a cell with a smile on his face!

:rofl



They just put in a *****load of the damn things here in Austin and its already causing an uproar! I like to drive through them while flipping the bird!

Lazy oscar APD cant write enough tickets so now they rely on a camera at an intersection to do it for them now. Gues that means more effin doughnut eating time for the lazy bastards




:furious

look behind you when pulling up to these, accidents at intersections that have cameras can go up as much as 600%. My dad is in the HWY business and has seen reports on them, they also don't generate the money they say they will.

FYI the "bird" is also called "the international challenge to fight", and some lazy APD officer might just drop his doughnut long enough to whoop on you.

If you don't have anything to hide, Lazs2, why not?  A nice surveillance system would do wonders for preventing domestic abuse.

If you object too strenuously, then obviously your life should receive more scrutiny.  What are you, a commie?

geez...

You're going from an automated system that detects red light runners, to having someone put cameras in your home?

Nice leap.
