❌ HB63
Require ODOT to install and maintain rest stop security cameras
Current Status: In House Committee (Transportation)
Summary
The bill requires the Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT) to install and maintain security camera systems at rest stops under its jurisdiction by June 30, 2031. The director of transportation must consult with the director of public safety and the attorney general regarding the installation and maintenance schedule.
Rationale
The bill mandates government surveillance at public rest stops, which conflicts with Libertarian principles of individual privacy and limited government intervention. Both the LP and LPO platforms advocate for reduced government oversight and protection of individual rights, making this bill misaligned with their core values.
Risks and Concerns
- Increased government surveillance
- Potential violation of individual privacy rights
- Expansion of government control over public spaces
