15. spy cameras are not effective law enforment tools, but a pretext to control..
through implied coercion. If we think that we are being spied on...we will behave- wrong.

Let's look at the law enforcement angle. How were the following criminals found and arrested?
Ted Bundy- routine police work after a witness saw a VW bug. A cop stopped him a few days later.
David Berkowitz (The Son of Sam Killer)- a parking ticket from his vehicle being parked near a murder lead cops to his house.
Tim McVeigh- a cop pulled over his vehicle for driving without a proper tag.

We need cops with common sense, not cameras.
