With over 6,000 such “speed cameras,” Britons are under almost constant surveillance re their driving. However, the following paragraph is instructive:

“The government says the cameras have been a resounding success…reducing the numbers of people speeding at the sites by 31 percent and reducing by 42 percent the number of people killed or seriously injured at the sites.”

Clearly, this is a serious privacy vs. safety issue. However, it would seem one of those rare ones in which the latter should take precedence.
