Sitrep: Big Bro and Your Freedom of Movement

Your privacy is under assault in many ways and here is an insidious one.  No matter where you go, if you are driving a car with a license plate on it there is a likely chance your movements will be noticed and noted through a optical scanning system for license plates.  Of course this is only to find criminals but with such a database your every movement and whereabouts will be a matter of record if you are driving a vehicle.

Georgia Sheriff plans to use system to scan 1000 plates per hour.

Seattle collects 7 million license plate photos last year.

How license plate readers work.

NSA data in hot demand from other spy agencies.  I bet they all want a peek.  Next it will be divorce attorneys.

DEA uses intel from data mining to begin investigations.  It also instructs agents to hide the original source of the information on the investigation which appears to violate rules according to lawyers.   Hey, just make it up, why not.
