Black boxes required in 2015

I have heard about the red-light cameras issuing tickets in Philadelphia for cars in funeral processions. In which case it is OK to go through the light. You would think the people reviewing the pictures could tell it was a funeral procession as the cars are usually marked with flags or stickers here in PA.

Their computers told them that some woman owed a big debt on her house and they started threatening her and she has records on her calling line identification of numerous calls from her local police department threatening her. She owed nothing on anything and hadn't for years. So she sued them and got a $10 million dollar settlement but she can't collect it. Even though the computers have records of the calls from the local police they say they never did contact her at all. And that is very possible as I know I can make calls and have them come in as my neighbor or others that I may want to. So no matter what, technology is not infallible. However, I am afraid it is to late to stop the Govt. from taking over and knowing about everything we do and when and where.
