Red Light Cameras need to go

The people who support these cameras are going down a very slippery slope. I hear they are giving out tickets to people who don't wear seat belts with these cameras. What if the seat belt happens to be the same color as your shirt? Next they want to have "black boxes" in cars so they know every detail of what you do. They might as well sell cars with credit card readers, too, so you can just pay the fines instantly. No need for courts.You'll have at least 25 violations on your trip to the corner store. You didn't signal fast enough, you forgot to check your mirror, you went 1 mph over the speed limit, you parked 1/2 inch too far away from the curb, you touched a double yellow line with a tire.... If you say, "We are giving our rights away, because we consistently fail to accept responsibility for our actions.". You can't be serious. OK...if every car is supposed to be stopped behind some line the microsecond the light turns red, then why not just have a wall pop up where the line is? Nobody will ever hit the wall if they don't break the law, right? Blame yourself if you happen to crash into that wall. My point is, we need to take this on a case by case basis. That's why we trust the police to make a fair judgement before writing a a ticket, and if the officer was wrong with his judgement, he/she can be challenged in court. This isn't about taking responsibility for our actions. This is about being treated like humans. We aren't robots and we have rights. Why should we let robots and machines be able to punish us without question? We aren't perfect, yet we are being held to perfect standards with no way to explain, no way to check if the camera was working right or even being tampered with. If you expect citizens to just shell out hard earned money and "accept responsibility" for everything that big brother accuses them of, you really need to move to Cuba. We are giving our rights away, because we are too busy, too complacent, too lazy, too ignorant and just to uncaring about the precious rights we now take for granted. When the day comes that you get 25 tickets a day for things you can't go to court for, because it's your word against a camera, black box, radar gun, or some other electronic device, then blame yourself. This isn't the Olympics where 1/100th of a second is justification for a ticket. There are many reasons and circumstances that people cross lines and go through lights that are justified. We are humans and we aren't perfect. Why should we be held to perfect standards? Why should we just pay a fine because a picture was taken? You care about the justice system? Normally a piece of evidence would have to go through a chain of command to prove it wasn't tampered with. Who printed this picture? How did they do it? What kind of printer? Was it working right at the time? How can we be sure it wasn't doctored? If I get a picture/ticket in the mail, I would demand that the every person involved with that picture, go to court and swear under oath what their roll was in handling this picture. That's my right. There is a system that has worked just fine since traffic lights were invented. It's called a police officer writing a ticket. It's Constitutional, it's safe, it allows you to confront the accuser in court. There is NO justification for giving up rights...not even safety. Wars have been fought and people have DIED to keep us free, and anyone who wants to throw it away because they think it will make them safe deserves neither safety nor freedom. There is no proof that these cameras make the roads safer. They may even be causing more rear end crashes.
