Oklahoma City - Oklahoma blogger and citizen activist, Kaye Beach, hand delivered a letter to Governor Brad Henry on Tuesday December 15, 2009 requesting information on whether he intends to sign an executive order authorizing surveillance cameras for use by DPS.

The purported reason for the surveillance cameras is to catch uninsured motorists on Oklahoma highways. The ALPR (automatic license plate recognition) cameras scan the license plates of passing vehicles, access a database of insured motorists, then issue a ticket to those determined to be uninsured. (A check in the mail doesn't count.)

A real money-maker for the over-employed state and the insurance companies?
