That's a straw man. This is clearly not about recording audio of vehicle traffic, but about recording conversations between the same citizens they're visually monitoring. Plus, they were very quick to pull the trigger and install these without asking. Clearly asking people who would do such a thing to "exercise self control" in regard to enabling yet another degree of surveillance seems like an exercise in futility.
