Britain to log all vehicle movement

Posted by samzenpus on from the they-are-watching-you dept.

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."

    It's always refreshing to be reminded that there are still places that hold privacy in lower regard than America. But how long until we follow in Britain's footsteps?

    If you have nothing to hide what is the problem with a daily cavity search and tissue sample?
