The Town of Tequesta is just a short drive north on US-1. The police have an automatic license plate reader system that takes a picture of every car that drives through the town. The residents have expressed their support and want the town to set up more of them. This is not a "gated community" or an enclave of rich people, just an average working class/middle class kind of place.
Does your town do this ? Would you like them to ? Remember, every car gets snapped and id'd. If you have an unpaid ticket or didn't pay you car insurance, the police will be looking for you. If the DHS has flagged you as a "journalist" or a protester, they will know where you are. Did you sign a petition lately ? Are you the 99% ? Did you ever use Pirate Bay ? Are you behind on you college loan payments ?

It has potential uses and potential for abuses also, but I don't think the politicians really care about the former, it is all money making for the corps. If somebody steals my car, I would love to have such a technology to grab the thieves.
ReplyDeleteToo Orwellian for me.
ReplyDeleteI'm more offended by the auto-notify aspect. The cameras have been around so long that we have accepted them. If we let the red-light cams and these things take on some legitimacy then we will get used to them too.
