How do you feel about warrant less ability to track your every move

I read online that some guy won $15,000 from Google in a lawsuit as their googlemaps camera captured a nude image of him outside. So I don't know anything else. Walking to the mail box? Watering the grass?

Surely no one needs a warrant to film anybody in a public space?

If you pay to attend a televised sporting event in Australia, you agree that in return for seeing the event in person, you can be shown on the tv broadcast as a part of the crowd. That fact is made VERY clear, when you purchase the tickets, either online or at the event gates. Just one example of how public space does not hold any expectation of "Privacy".

For a number of years here in Toronto I was a licensed Private Investigator, and I used a video camera frequently, to document the actions of persons who were under investigation. The rules in Canada are quite clear about what can be filmed or recorded in "Public Places". The short form answer here is....If the camera person is on public property they can video anything that their eye can see, from that position. If I was seated in my vehicle, parked on a public street, I could film anyone or anything, that I could see from my vantage point. JIMB.

In this area they are putting a big push on to slow drivers in school zones, stopping for school buses, etc…

The new system snaps a picture and issues a ticket based on information from your license plate.

Right now we are in a sixty day test period where a notice is issued without a ticket or fine.

So far this week I’ve received two notices.

I’m sure that the notices were well deserved and I really need to be more mindful of slowing to 20 mph in school zones. Apparently they give a generous 11 mile per hour leeway or 31mph before it triggers the system. It was easy with my old hooptie but it will take some serious behavior modification with my new little car.

All in all it’s a good program if it makes us take a look at our behavior.

I am curious as to how many thousands of notices have been issued since the program went into effect. 🤔
