Default Cameras are a Homeland security operation probably

The cameras are most lilely a home land security set up. They can be used to spy on folks, which raises a 1st Amendment issue.

They are used by the Traffic Control center to monitor traffic flow. This is within the San Anotnio city limits, I am not speaking of other places such as Balcones Heights.

I think posts #11 & #29 in this thread give about the best summary of what many people apparently mistakenly think are red light cameras.
