Massachusetts Plans To Keep Track of Where Your Car Has Been

Posted by Soulskill on from the dude-where's-my-car dept.

Attila Dimedici writes "Massachusetts wants to establish a database with the information gathered by license plate scanners installed in police cars.

The data wil be kept indefinitely."
