In a March 1 letter to the editor, it was suggested cameras be used in our parks to keep motorized vehicles out. While I think it is a shame some people fail to respect the park rules, that lack of respect is minor compared to taking one more step toward becoming a police state.

We are under surveillance far more than people are aware of. We continue to fool ourselves that we live in a free democracy. How can we even consider freedom a reality with the continuing addition and unprecedented surveillance of the citizenry?
