I would urge everyone to carry a cheap digital camera in their car to catch this kind of behavior.
Make sure you get the registration tag. It doesn't have to lead to a conviction, it just has to lead
to people thinking twice before doing this, and also to the police calling them up or visiting them
(possible, thanks to the tag) and giving them a friendly word to cut it out or there will be trouble.
I'm all in favor of camera surveillance, the government can film me going down the street as much as they
want. The theoretical abuse that could stem from that pales in comparison to the crime that could
be prevented or solved or punished right now.
