问题     Some try to reason with the police officer who has pulled them
over for some real or imagined traffic offense. But when law
enforcement is represented by a computer-driven camera that has
immortalized your violation in film, it is hard to talk your way out of【S1】______
a heavy fine. Yet that is precisely what some 300 motorists in San
Diego succeeded in doing last week that a superior court judge rules【S2】______
that pictures taken by the so-called red-light cameras were
unreliable and therefore unacceptable.
    The first U. S. court decision to reject all the traffic violations
catching on camera, the ruling by judge Ronald Styn has fueled【S3】______
debate over the growing use of the devices. Police departments
swear, and studies indicate, that the robot cameras deter people in【S4】______
speeding and running red lights. Yet at least seven states have
blocked proposals to implement them, but opponents—ranging from【S5】______
House majority leader Dick Armey to the American Civil Liberties
Union—argues that the cameras violate privacy and place profit【S6】______
above public safety.
    Part of the problem is that virtually all the devices in the place【S7】______
are operated by private firms that handle everything from installing
the machinery to identifying violations—often with maximal police【S8】______
oversight—and have an incentive to pull in as many drivers as they
can. The companies get paid as many as $ 70 a ticket, and the total【S9】______
revenue is hardly chump change. " It’s all about money," says
Congressman Bob Barr, a leading critic. Not so, insists Terrance
Gainer, Washington’s executive assistant chief of police. "We have
reduced fatalities. If some company is making money that, that is【S10】______
American way. " [br] 【S5】
选项
答案 but—and
解析 连词误用。上句说“至少七个州已经禁止安装这些设备”，下句说“反对者争辩说摄像头触犯隐私且把利润置于公共安全之上”。由此可见，这两个句子都是在说反对者的观点，因此是并列关系，而不是转折关系。
