Apr 11, 2005 -- Smile! You're on camera!

You've probably seen people doing some unsanitary or unusual things while they're driving. It’s almost as if being in a car makes people feel invisible, even though others can observe us much more closely. Well, that invisible feeling is slowly going away, as cameras are being installed everywhere we look. According to the Chicago Tribune, Illinois is now using camera-equipped vans in construction zones. The vans tape drivers speeding through these zones even though the speed limit is reduced in these areas. Every year, we lose dozens of construction workers because people are driving way too fast. But the cameras will hopefully be a deterrent. A first time ticket will cost speeders $375. A second offense is $1,000 and a 90-day license suspension. That’s pretty serious. If they are used for safety, these cameras are a great asset.
In other camera news, commercial drivers are also being tracked. GPS units are being placed in trucks, school buses and limousines to determine if these vehicles are where they should be. So, who is watching all of those cameras?
