OKLAHOMA CITY, Ok. - A state lawmaker doesn't like the idea of using cameras to find drivers without insurance. 200 cameras on state roadways would randomly check car tags and if the car tag comes back uninsured, the driver would be mailed a ticket. State Representative Mike Reynolds calls the idea by the Department of Public Safety an invasion of privacy. He says the answer is to impound the cars of uninsured drivers during traffic stops.

  • turnpikes
    They have cameras on turnpikes so is that a privacy issue also. Take down the cameras
  • Ok, so using a camera to find uninsured drivers is an invasion of privacy. That would mean an officer asking to see proof of insurance is also an invasion of privacy. The same information is being gathered.
