Big Brother Tracks Your Car with Photo Database: “There’s no expectation of privacy”

Kimberly Paxton

Do you ever feel like someone is watching you when you’re driving down the road?

Well, they are. Not only are you being watched, but your car is being photographed via license plate scanners, the photo is being saved, and it’s there for future tracking purposes. This isn’t just a high-crime, big-city kind of tactic – this is also happening in small town USA as police departments blame decreasing budgets for the perceived necessity of high-tech surveillance. Wherever you have driven your car, the government has a record of it, whether or not you are suspected of committing crime.
