In a collectivist society, the only privacy you have is the one that pols and bureaucrats let you have. This suprises me not one whit about Canada. Not to pick on them, but this sort of behavior is commonplace in a socialist society.
Not that I endorse speeding. But imagine if you will, if the govt put the same zeal into capturing and punishing violent criminals. Instead, they take the easy way out and target drivers, who as we know, are a much steadier source of income AND an easier group to manage.
Now, don't get me started.
