California Tracks Everyone Using Toll Transponders
obtuse writes "Direct monitoring of traffic sounds pretty cool, but some people don't want their toll transponders tracked. They aren't installing direct driver tracking for law enforcement now, but the collected data could be subpoenaed. Of course, anyone who didn't want to be tracked could just put it in the glovebox anyway, so they won't be catching clever felons or tracking real paranoiacs."
Go ahead and mark me troll, but...
You know what's going to happen... some genius in the state Assembly or state Senate will get the idea that all cars sold in CA should have transponders for traffic reporting purposes...
Of course, this will be put somewhere that the driver can't easily get to it...
Fascism starts when the efficiency of the government becomes more important than the rights of the people.
