"[In debates over safety cameras] you will undoubtedly hear from people who seem to believe it is their god given right to break the law. To this we would counter that if our daughter, Sarah, could speak to you, she would ask "What about my right to live my life and raise my children?" As she cannot, we ask this on her behalf.
