Camera’s on freeways, sound like a bad idea; well it is. While in Arizona they not only had static cameras at some points they had mobile camera enforcement points. While it might seem like a good idea it had a side effect that isn’t too friendly, groups of cars that don’t like to allow you to move over. I can understand trying to stop people from driving 90 down the freeway; however, it seemed to create a lot of unneeded backup. Truthfully though, they give you plenty of warning before the enforcement points (1/2 mile and 300 ft.) and you have time to slow down if you happen to be going to fast. I just hope to hell CA doesn’t think about doing something like this. At least LA wouldn’t have to worry too much, every time I’m down there I can’t go faster than 5MPH do to the traffic.
They also just put in a rather odd illegal immigration bill. I don’t really see how the police are going to enforce this bill without doing some sort of racial profiling. They can already do immigration status checks of people they arrest; however, this new portion just doesn’t seem like a good use of time. The law, as I’ve read it, doesn’t really seem to break federal law on immigration; what it seems to do is “enhance” the enforcement. Now whether that “enhanced” enforcement breaks illegal search and seizure, or some other personal protection US citizens have the privilege to, is a completely different argument. I think the citizens are a little upset over recent events there and are agreeing with a knee jerk reaction of a bill. Anyway, that’s just my brief opinion on a fairly complex issue.
