Florida Town Stores License Plate Camera Images For Ten Years
An anonymous reader writes "Yet another privacy concern story, this time from Florida. The Longboat Key police have their new license plate camera up and running, but according to the police chief, this one stores all images as 'evidence' for up to ten years. When questioned about the possibility for abuses of this camera's historical record, the chief said, 'There are regulations, policies and laws in place that prohibit that kind of abuse. And if abuse is discovered, it's punished.' What could possibly go wrong?"
Uh... "not ever" is not accurate (because I know of a local situation in which one was). Bad enough that this has often been the trend; best not to advocate extremes by saying "No officer ever".
Unless you can provide a citation (which I doubt you can), I will stick with "no officer ever".
I used to dream of visiting the united states, i even wanted to move there or so i thought, thank goodness that did not come to fruition. Now i would not even consider stepping foot there. Most people here used to talk of the american dream and hopes to move there someday to have a part of it, now when we speak of america its a joke and little more.
