From two state attorney general opinions, F-Dot that said it was illegal. "It seems to me a civil violation is highly questionable because it just seems like an attempt to get around the statute," Nova Southeastern University constitutional law professor Bob Jarvis told the Miami Herald. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/06/639.asp In fact a MN Supreme Court case whacked the cameras on pretty much the same issue that is being tried in FL. http://www.thenewspaper.com/news/16/1688.asp (that is a copy of the supreme court ruling) I forgot to add that there really isn’t a loophole here.
