    I've thought about this a lot as it's effectively my idea of Origin Marks (not the same as the curvy OM/GI system), that are like trade marks but they serve the consumer rather tha…

    Surely it's not the camera per se , it iss the people who are installing them. One key driver is lack of efficient law enforcement. Do you force people not to give up their own lib…
