Britain to log all vehicle movement

dubbayu_d_40 writes "Using a network of cameras that can record license plates, Britain plans to build a database of vehicle movement for police and security services: rollout begins in March. Can't someone just swap/steal/disable the tracking device? Seems to me just another way to track the average citizen and not those wishing to avoid authorities."

    Then again, if guns were banned for psycho's in the US then I guess profits would take a serious hit.

    Last I checked, they were. You aren't in any position to lecture us on bad government.

    thefts?? They just make their own. Seriously though, if it takes the police 2 days to respond to a burglary call when the guys in your house how long do you think it will take before they react to a "possible extra plate" issue? One of my plebs at work was getting sent speeding tickets due to someone cloning his plate, it as a completely different car and about 300 miles away, it still took him 2 months to get them to pay any attention. This will do -fuck- all to prevent criminals and it will shaft the innocent. Cheerio Tony Blair you fucking dictator.
