HB305

HB305 infringes on our liberty and privacy as USA citizens!

I support the bill and ask that you would change the length of time residing in the town to 15 years.

Oppose. This is the first step to turning New Hampshire into a surveillance state.

Though I understand the reason for why the sponsors of this bill think of it as a solution to a growing problem, it not only gives me concern for slowly turning us into a surveillance state but raises many questions on how it truly can be enforced. Without also including facial recognition into the system this would put the crime on the vehicle and not the individual. These infractions and fines could be argued in court because the vehicle becomes responsible for the crime and not the operator. The owner of the vehicle could argue that someone else was operating the vehicle and there is not conclusive evidence that they were the culprit. This will result into a clogging of our courts and cost more than they’re worth. Yes, they could potentially be committing perjury, but how far are we willing to go down this road for someone running a red light? Instead of adding how about strengthening? Strengthen drivers education and obtaining a license. Strengthen law enforcement and require them to do their job and be public facing keeping our roads safe. Thought there are accidents caused by running a red light here in the Granite State we are seeing more issues from speeding and distracted driving. So I ask again, how far do you really intend to go down this road?

This seeks to remove one of the key advantages of living in New Hampshire. Absolutely not. If the municipality sees a problem at certain part of their town, they can have their PD consider directed patrolling of an area. One way to ensure I never spend a dime in your town is to install these anywhere.
