Dave in Germany you don't have the Bill of Rights. So if you like big brother watching you, then that is great for you. Remember that when they decide that they can look in your home/person/etc 24-7 without any court order. I seem to remember someone over there doing a real job of that on any Jew about seventy years ago. It all starts with one "little" step.
The speed cameras are not too bad at doing what they where intended to do, slowing down drivers. I still think that it is too much big brother and just a money generator for Govt. The red light cameras cause more serious problems. They do make fewer people run red light but cause way more rear end collisions. I have seen several people killed because they slammed on their brakes on a yellow light in front of a heavy truck. Also the cities with them are shorting the yellow. MORE MONEY!!! Here in Iowa the city of Cedar Rapids is being sued over it. The city admitted that they shortened the yellow time by five seconds. Does not sound like much but at higher speeds that means you can't get stopped in time. There is one light here on ,RT 13 a 4 lane, that at the posted limit, 55, you have eight seconds to get stopped during the yellow. Try that at 55 with a 80,000 lbs semi. There has been seven people killed at that light in the last two years. Everyone of them was hit from behind. The last one was a kid just learning to drive that got stopped, skidded the car, then the car behind him hit his car and shot the car load of Drivers ed kids under a passing Dump truck. Only three of the four died so I guess the money the town gets will make up for it.
If I remember right you are involved in base security??? The reason I ask this is that there is a big difference in opinion between law enforcement and the average citizen on this subject. Most law enforcement type would love to be able to camera everyone 24-7 then just have banks of computers writing tickets.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
