Why bother with tracking our license plates? Seriously, just go ahead (and try!) to RFID all citizens at birth and just be done with the endless spying and snooping of US citizens.

Creepy. If you live in a state with no front plates, time to get a pickup and drive around with the gate down.

Homeland Security. Created supposedly to protect us from Moslem terrorism.
Not the size of the USMC with twice the budget, and focusing squarely against the American people. This will be our Gestapo.

They will not be using this information until they decide to start using the information.

The national license-plate recognition database, which would draw data from readers that scan the tags of every vehicle crossing their paths, would help catch fugitive illegal immigrants, according to a DHS solicitation.
Seriously?? To help catch fugitive illegal immigrants?

The Department of Homeland Security wants a private company to provide a national license-plate tracking system that would give the agency access to vast amounts of information from commercial and law enforcement tag readers, according to a government proposal that does not specify what privacy safeguards would be put in place.The only acceptable reliable safeguard is for this information never to come to them at all. Think about it -- what "safeguard" can be trusted when it's implemented by people who've shown chronic disrespect for our civil rights and privacy, and who, even if this were the one exception and they actually intended to secure the data, are so incompetent their software products come out like HealthCare.gov???

Yet another reason guys like Rand Paul are embracing Ed Snowden Libertarianism. It’s going to get increasingly popular, given how the tin-eared bureaucrats continue to totter along as if nothing has changed.

could only be accessed in conjunction with ongoing criminal investigations or to locate wanted individuals.
LOL
It is important to note that this database would be run by a commercial enterprise, and the data would be collected and stored by the commercial enterprise, not the government,

And the answer is:
Form an LLC to hold Property, transfer all vehicles and re-register, so your vehicle has NO TIES to YOU when they scan and keep your plate info.

A spokeswoman for DHSs Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency (ICE) stressed that the database could only be accessed in conjunction with ongoing criminal investigations or to locate wanted individuals.
~snip~
Agents would be able to use a smartphone to snap pictures of license plates that could be compared against a hot list of plates in the database. They would have 24-hour, seven-day-a-week access, according to the solicitation, which was first noted last week by bloggers.
Which lie am I supposed to believe?

I think you have to be pretty naive to think this is not already in place. Yeah, they have 8 to 12 cameras at every traffic light intersection for nothing.

Police in our area have cameras that recognize and search for licenses right now.
They are just trying to formalize what is already in place.
