The backlash against automated license plate readers is not really about traffic cameras. It is about a public that no longer assumes the people in charge are acting in good faith.

This is a remarkably healthy mindset for the public to hold. Basically, don’t let the government grab power you wouldn’t trust your political enemies to wield.

Good to remember
