Not yet,but L.A. has been using cameras on the freeways for years to monitor traffic flow.

The voters need to send a message to the state that they don't want the cameras installed.

The arguments for the use of cameras is public safety-speeders,catching criminals,accidents,etc.

That part is true,but it also to keep an eye on the people in general.

Group mentality is to let someone else get involved so I don't have too.

A lot of cities are putting the cameras up even though the people don't want them (Welcome to the future world of "Judge Dredd" and Demolition Man"!
