Just to poke in again for a minute...
I don't consider traveling by common conveyance a "privilege" (at least it
should be considered a right in my view).
One should be able to travel as a matter of right unless specific damages
caused by one should result in a restraining order prohibiting one from
driving a car.
I don't believe in preventative laws -- I believe only in acts and consequences.
Again, referring to "Minority Report", it is not what you might do that
creates causes of action in law -- but what you did do.
BTW, I don't have a problem with irrefutable evidence. If several camera
angles could prove the crime and the actor in the crime then maybe cameras
could be useful tools. One shot of a license plate and the claim of a radar
detecting X speed is not exactly sufficient proof in my mind.
