Everyone seems to be getting riled up about governments' ability to access RFID devices, but what about criminal organizations? They definitely have the money to buy the latest technology or corrupt insiders and gain access to the system.
Criminals could set up readers around police stations and record tags from police cars. Then they could setup readers around their "areas" for a early warning system.
Undercover operations could be in jeopardy, as could be the usage of police informants. "Hey Mikey, been noticing your car parked by the police station a lot. Why?" or "Hey Mikey, according to this report your car has been in the presence of police cars. Why?"
Or a hit man could set up an RFID triggered device.
