Recording every car and its occupants in the off chance that you'll catch a criminal? Ridiculous. At least one SF Bay area community (Tiburon) has these cameras recording every vehicle as it enters or exits the community. I haven't been to Tiburon since. Guess I'll be scratching Santa Cruz off the destination list too.
