TRAFFIC CAMERAS: Exchanging freedom for security

What good will control cameras do when the main streets and highways around Coeur d’Alene have way more traffic than they were designed for? Installing one more system to watch us will not solve the problem of not enough roads.

For the people that the government will only do good things to help us, let us look into the FBI which was first run by J. Edgar Hoover, a cross dresser who hated non-binary people and kept personal records on political and powerful people to blackmail them for his bidding.

The CIA has spied on private people without warrants. Our telephone knows everywhere we travel, which is easily monitored by law enforcement. The IRS an illegal agency which taxes, steals our property and puts us in jail if we don’t jump to their command, making us slaves for life. The federal student loan system was supposedly set up to help students get through college but really made them debt slaves for the rest of their life with no way out and making schooling more expensive. Maybe this is why people don’t want to be spied on one more time. Just think about how these cameras will spy on us in real time. When we give up freedom for security, we will soon have neither.
