Thanks, but no.
I'm alright with having your records shown when you're involved in an accident, especially one that kills people.
But we don't need frickin' CCTV cameras at key locations filming people and having those films stored on a government database.

On another note, people are calling this fascist. Fascism is when the government sets up corporations for private gain but makes society as a whole suffer the corporations losses. Bailing out AIG was fascist, how does banning cell phones in cars help corporations?

I agree. Bailing out AIG was fascist, especially using the motto 'to big to fail.' It goes against the whole idea of a capitalist society, and it stops the smaller companies that didn't screw up like AIG screwed up from stepping in and taking over.
Which is exactly how our economy should operate. But, I don't like the idea of CCTVs. That a government agency has access to all that information is not a good idea.
