National Car Tracking System Proposed For US

bl968 writes "The Newspaper is reporting that the leading private traffic enforcement camera vendors are seeking to establish a national vehicle tracking system in the United States using existing red-light and speed enforcement cameras. The system would utilize Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to track vehicles passing surveillance cameras operated by these companies. If there are cameras positioned correctly the company will enable images and video to be taken of the driver and passengers. The nice thing in their view is that absolutely no warrants are needed. To gain public acceptance, the surveillance program is being initially sold as an aid for police looking to solve Amber Alert cases and locate stolen cars."

    Who the F#*(*U#$ are these bastidges that come up with this crap?

    What freaking universe do they live in where something like this would even be REMOTELY considered acceptable?

    See what happens when FemiNAZIS push for women to go to work and dump their kids in daycare?

    Welcome to the screwed up world order.

    Before you EVER consider putting your child(ren) into daycare make sure you're not chasing some F*(#$ dream at their expense.

    There is NO excuse for daycare... children NEED their parents.

    Without it you get crap like this, kids shooting each other in school and thousands of other problems that have cropped up over the last 30 years.

    CARE FOR YOUR KIDS! Nobody else gives enough of a shit and your kids will turn out just like them.

    Marriage certificates are public records. There is a picture of you.

    They could obtain your name from the marriage certificate, which is public record.
    Then, request inter-agency co-operation to get your address as listed on your driver's license and registration.
    Then, issue a citation to you.
    Then, issue an arrest warrant when you fail to appear.
    And, possibly have your license suspended in your current state.
