Really, we have a right to the privacy of our license plate number?  I don't think so.  Of course, I'm not a constitutional lawyer, but I'm fairly certain you don't. [/quote]

Having a log file mapping your daily movements creates a potential source of serious abuse. That kind of information is very powerful and should not be left open to abuse by loosely regulated and secretive groups of people.[/quote]

Exactly. Anyone who thinks this is a good idea should visit China to see how it feels to be tracked. [/quote]

Yes. Fairfax is China. That’s it.[/quote]

Increasingly, yes.

China and North Korea love mass surveillance programs like this to make sure their citizens stay inline.

Why do you like that kind of model for society?[/quote]
Exactly. They have no guaranteed God-given freedoms like we do.[/quote]

Wrong.  We don't have guaranteed God given freedoms.  Not even the ones in the Bill of Rights.  For example any random US citizen can't own a full auto M-60 machine gun.  You don't have the right to make false statements about products and services.  You don't have the right to threaten to harm or kill someone.

And likewise you have no expectation of privacy if you commit crimes in public, including traffic crimes.[/quote]
