>>>Gee, just put some camera's out there on the overpasses, no need to track people<<<
No one is being tracked - just counted...
I still don't like it. Of course I don't like 99.9999% of ehat government does. I am beginning to believe that government is not a necessary evil, just evil...
Okay, good point. So the government is paying a private company to spy on drivers. Thanks for explaining.
No one is being "spied on" in the sense you are thinking.
Is everyone out to get you or what??
The total paranoia on this thread is rather amusing.
People, on a daily basis, through their every day life, do far more to provide the kind of information that they are afraid that this technology could provide, but does not.
Oh, so you think you know my thoughts? Hmmm...should I get out the tinfoil?
Is everyone out to get you or what??
Nah... but I think I've bought my last American car, now that they have the nice little black boxes that would never, ever be used to prosecute people for alleged violations....well, until they started using them for that, despite their precision and accuracy problems. Or like the gun registrations that could never, ever in paranoid nightmares be used for confiscating guns...until they were. Et cetera.
Nope...luckily not everyone is out to get me...but I do pay attention and I know history.
>>>Hmmm...should I get out the tinfoil?
Yes.
You provide more data that can be mined to track you through your daily existence than this system could ever dream of collecting.
Do you actually believe that it's a conservative point-of-view to support the government sponsoring competition against private enterprises, especially to collect tracking data via a private contractor?
But they do it voluntarily, thats the difference
I choose what data I expose on here (does voluntary vs involuntary mean anything to you?). Yes, they are several, but this would be taxpayers funding an additional datum that I don't want collected. Yes, they have the ability and right to track those emissions, but that doesn't mean I'm happy about it or want to pay taxes for it!
>Yes.
Nah, I don't think you need foil...you're not a nutcase...just a socialist. ;-)

Now that is just plain rude and uncalled for.
The technology being proposed does not do what you, and all the other nattering nabobs of unabashed paranoia think it's will do.
Yeah, and throwing around claims of paranoia is not? Sheesh...left your sense of humour afk, eh?

And now you will tell us all how you "know" this?
"dogsqueeze"
I like it.
Here's another one: "Puppy Pasta"
Ouch....good point.
Heck, you need an older model for your state. The roads in New Mexico (If you can call them that) would chew up and spit out most newer model vehicles.
I haven't yet install the new RFID-chip memory card they sent me in the mail last month. It works fine without it so the new card can sit in my desk as far as I'm concerned.
Using a credit card during the day probably gives out the most information of anything.
Is keeping the phone turned off sufficient to not be tracked from cell to cell?
Powder..Patch..Ball FIRE!
Yeah it was posted and got no attention at the time...
