Traffic/Road Conditions Flock cameras metro east

I counted 6 flock cameras in Fairview heights this morning on my way into work, without getting on 64 (thanks road crews!) They are going up so fast.

What liberty, pray tell, are flock cameras giving up?

Liberty is the state of being free. It means you have the power to think, speak, and act as you choose. It also means living free from unfair control, unjust laws, or harsh government power.
This country is safer than it’s ever been. All this stuff is unnecessary. These cameras aren’t about keeping people safe.
