All in order for our government to raise more money so that they can balance their budgets. One feels that this will continue to occure intil people have had enought and speak up about it. As for the camera's at red light YES it is all about the money and the city's don't care if you are getting rearended or hurt but only to fill their pockets.bjladaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10126862677300946672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7959803343678816550.post-25638951547911851912012-02-10T11:37:59.598-08:002012-02-10T11:37:59.598-08:00I have always been interested in why a lot of bigg...I have always been interested in why a lot of bigger towns have turned to red lights. It makes sense that it would bring in more revenue for the towns, but some people do think it may be unfair. Throughout time we have overcome circumstances that didn't involve technology. Society is growing and using technology to it's advantage. Parking tickets are given every where, if people would just obey the law they wouldn't have to complain. We see now even in prisons that are becoming advanced that are using more technology support rather than hiring more correctional officers. Whether it is ethical is beyond me because in reality it's for the greater good to prevent citizens from running lights and possibly causing accidents. Most would argue that police officers are lazy and don't want to make more paperwork for themselves, but I think that it is a form of both utilitarianism and Kant's views of ethics and moral values. It is for the greater good of all, but remains to be an equal consequence for everyone who doesn't obey the law even depending the situation.Victoria Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06970783011772136015noreply@blogger.com
