    I don't care what the benefits to society are (locating kidnapped children, for example) there are far too many ways for this to be abused.

    In other news, anyone have any tips on which license plate blocking companies are the best to buy from? I think they're about to get a surge in business and I've love to cash in.
  • meaple, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2This is completely absurd. The American public sits around and naps while Big Brother slowly takes over.

    Am I the only one bothere about being tracked whereever I go?
  • akcpe, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2One small step for red light camera vendors, one giant leap for Orwellian society.

    When will our public decide enough is enough? Are we really that ignorant?
  • mrdeathgod, on 09/17/2008, -0/+2Ok, so what happens when someone installs a bright UV or IR light somewhere around their license plate?
  • Mediamoron, on 09/18/2008, -0/+1Yes.
  • vtnerd, on 09/17/2008, -0/+1You get a ticket?

    I'm not saying I won't do the very same thing if this comes to pass, but that will be the result.
