Unfortunately, for every one that's cut down, about 5 more are built.

I don't recommend more people join in. I don't recommend those who've already joined pick up the pace. That would be wrong. Very wrong. So definitely don't do it.

They should be pressuring the officials who approved installing the cameras in the first place to change their minds. Never forget that there are human beings behind this shit. Cameras don't just sprout from poles by themselves.

It is way more effective to get your city to cancel the contract
