In this cartoon I can see several protest signs that are against red light cameras. There is a speech bubble that raises awareness of all the places that surveillance cameras are used. These people are protesting near a red light camera. The cartoonist is stating that cameras infringes on people's privacy. This cartoon does not relate much to a current event as it is basically protesting the use of surveillance cameras, which have been around for quite some time now. I was absolutely entertained by the sign, "Big brother is watching!", which is a reference to 1984 by George Orwell. We have talked about the issue of privacy in class, which was that the right of privacy is only suggested in the Constitution but not directly stated. This, as well as the content of the speech bubble, uses irony and satire which makes the cartoon more interesting.
