Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson on Wednesday ordered the cancellation of a plan by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement agency to develop a national license-plate tracking system after privacy advocates raised concern about the initiative.
The order came just days after ICE solicited proposals from companies to compile a database of license-plate information from commercial and law enforcement tag readers. Officials said the database was intended to help apprehend fugitive illegal immigrants, but the plan raised concerns that the movements of ordinary citizens under no criminal suspicion could be scrutinized.

ever wonder why they hook up a computer to your vehicle? I’ve always wonder where that downloading computer info goes. Snowden knows ... Snowden knows! And so do those receiving the info. Now for another question ... do those little boxes record what is said by you while in your vehicle? There we go .... classified.

I know ... that I do not know about my AC till spring but all the other ... Let me tell you this ... I did go grocery shopping ... I wanted to walk the isles singing ... Hope and Change but not nearly enough to pay for all this. Don’t worry about jail. They have other plans but that’s classified too. Gee ... They won’t tell us nothing except Go Back to Sleep, All is Well. Boss gonna hit me for that. The not sleeping part.
