There's a town to never, ever visit.

Another thread. Public lands, and you are not the public.

Everyone in America is on probation. If you can go to town and come home without violating some law, the terrorists have already won.

From the article:

Next to the tag number, police will have a picture of the driver, taken with another set of cameras upgraded versions of the standard surveillance cameras already in place.

If there is a robbery, police will be able to comb records to determine who drove through town on a given afternoon or evening.

This will end the first time they harass innocent people that happened to be visiting or passing through during that interval.

It's likely they will ensnare a competent attorney -- who will acquire many pounds of flesh from the town's collective backside, just to set an example.

Police Chief Clay Walker said cameras will take infrared photos recording a car's tag number, then software will automatically run the numbers through law enforcement databases. A 911 dispatcher is alerted if the car is stolen or is the subject of a "be on the lookout" warning.

I don't see a problem with this part of it.

You don't have privacy in the public sphere but this:

" Still, Walker says Manalapan's data will be destroyed every three months."

Ain't gonna happen...ever. Once the data is there it will be there forever.

Another reason for me to never, ever set foot in the State of Florida again.

What is it about that state that seems to bring out the mad-dogs of government? Florida is actually more like a banana republic that just happens to fly Old Glory over its statehouse.

(Speaking as someone who used to work in Florida government as a consultant>

What you have to understand is that Manalapan is such a rich town it is incredible.
You don't have to just have a million or two to live there, you have to have money like kerrys old lady. Being a dumbass like her is optional.
