- jgalt212 10y agoIn general, I tend to a agree with you. i.e. Big Brother is bad, but if Big Brother is being Big Brother to protect you against the abuses of Uber then the case is not so clear against increased govt data collection.
- givinguflac 10y agoThe article makes a clear distinction between reasonable collection for those purposes, and this plan which is clearly a catch all with plenty of loopholes for using it however they'd like. I'm all for efficiency and against abuses, but there no way they need all this data for that purpose.

- Spooky23 10y agoIt's little different elsewhere. One of my relatives were railing about being compelled to get EZPass for the Mass Pike, citing security/tracking concerns. The reality is, any state or highway water crossing is almost certainly captured on LPR. If you travel on known "drug corridors", like I95, you're face and plate is captured multiple times.
