The proceeding is an edited version of what I emailed to the Nevada Department of Public Safety and Transportation... Specifically the Nevada Advisory Committee on Traffic Safety, as they are the group that is drafting new legislation to have red light cameras with license plate recognition systems installed at intersections. It was the article from 8 News Now that caught my attention. There's no indication of which intersections are going to be affected, or how many will be installed, or how much this is going to cost the state/county/city, but I'm sure that information will be public soon enough.

I also know there have been attempts in the past to get speed cameras installed, and those have all been unsuccessful. It's something that California and other—less freedom loving—states have implemented in an attempt to dissuade motorists from committing minor traffic infractions under the guise of safety. Let's be real though, this is just the authoritarian state overreaching again.

There were a couple of embarrassing typos, but I wrote it fairly quickly on my break at work, and wanted to make sure that I actually sent it rather than simply throwing it into one of my my many drafts folders to sit and go stale. So here we are, and these are some random thoughts regarding traffic cameras. The major typos were corrected, but the structure was preserved for posterity.
