Manhattan 1984

Posted by samzenpus on from the watching-you dept.

Etherwalk writes "The New York Times is reporting on developments in the quest to charge driving fees for all vehicles headed below 86th Street in Manhattan. Notably absent from any part of the discussion is that a record is made of every car or truck that enters, together with the vehicle ownership information and the date and time of travel — either as part of EZ-Pass or in license-plate photos taken for subsequent billing."

    I've been hoping for a story to bring out the paranoid crowd. They are my favorites.

    I'd have to think that for the most part, this would end up tracking cabs.

      If you're a paranoid nerd, I am watching you. You're boring.

      Why are you watching then? Why don't you go and troll Digg.cum or something more on your mental level?
