Surveillance technology as evidence

Last time i visited my aunt, i saw a strange picture of her on her counter. I took a closer look at it, and i realized it was a picture of her making an illegal turn at a stoplight. It was actually a really funny picture because she looked like she had no idea what she was doing. This picture was taken by one of the cameras that you see at stoplights that help law enforcement give out tickets. I researched more information on these stoplight video cameras. These help law enforement officials give out traffic citations wusing evidence of the surveillance technology rather than witnesses and citing the person, going by memory instead of eveidence to give out the citation. This has also helped law enforement to focus on patrolling more important things rather than consuming their time chasing after traffic violators. The cameras take care of the taffic violaters while the police can focus on patrolling and stopping more serious crimes such as robbery, and violent offenses, or public disturbances. Although it is very helpful to law enforement, it upsets a lot of motorists. The motorists loose the ability to discuss the situation with an officer, and explain why they did what they did. An example could be that a driver went through a red light because the light just turned red and it would have been dangerous to slam on the brakes right when they saw the light turn red. A lot also arugue this may be a violation of privacy. It could also be a good thing because it causes people to drive more safely knowing that there is a camera watching them that can send out a ticket showing evidence.
