Hence why I get a patch of mud on my plates every chance I get.
Yeah, and?
The operations of a public agency are subject to public scrutiny, period.
Are there any decorative license plate covers that make your car look, ah, cool?
East Germany called. They want their 1970’s surveillance state back.
That's over $20,000 for each camera. Somebody is stuffing their pockets with that contract.
Or just lousy writing while meaning some totally different. Like 27 additional police departments...
Pre-Crime Systems Now Actively Monitoring the Internet: The Computer Algorithm Learns the Pattern and Produces a Prediction

The mere act of requesting the records will put a red check mark next to her file.
Big Brother government is growing daily, and American personal liberty is becoming a thing of the past.
The problem here is not the sensors themselves, it is that after the license plates are tracked, that the data is preserved. So it is really two issues.
In the former case, every vehicle with a visible license plate that the sensors can read is immediately cross checked with the database, looking for stolen cars and outstanding warrants. And it is quite effective for those two things.
But, as with guns, while many people accept the need for an instant background check, most everyone except radical gun controllers wants that data to be “volatile”, that is, once the check is made, the data for the check is discarded, not retained by anyone.
The simple rationale for this is that if such a database exists, it *will*, *invariably*, be abused.
And this goes even further than the fourth amendment, needing a written and specific court warrant, because it is blanket surveillance of the public. Even judges cannot, or should not, be allowed to issue such a warrant.
We’re headed towards the very last Totalitarian State. It will literally be a OWG. The control and tracking of people will be vital to that gov’t being able to enforce it’s laws.
Did you know that right now Venezuela is already tracking the selling of all food, knowing who’s buying it and how much?
Did you know that right now Venezuela is mandating that anybody buying food cannot return to buy food for 8 days and minors are prohibited from buying since most live with their parents?
ID cards are also issued our for “food buyers”.
They are also required to be finger-printed.
All of this is being tracked in a data-base.
It’s only a matter of time before it hits here.

Automatically assume that ANY and ALL data that ANY government agency collects about you will be permanently stored, and cross referenced with other databases, solely for the purpose to be used against you at some point in time. That’s how totalitarian third world regimes operate, and we are already there, like it or not.
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you must threaten to report me to the Mods if I don't add you to the list...
Last year for a time period our left wing local government allowed a so called traffic tracking company to use a lot of electronic means to supposedly check on traffic patterns. The system apparently used cameras and checked on the gps units in cars and smart phones.
There was not a single complaint from the sheeple up here, because it was supposedly an enviro study.
Acting in the dark with zero oversight and consciousness raised.
These are some sick outfits out of control.
A women I work with (upstate NY) was pulled over a month ago for “having a dirty license plate”. She was like: “Have you ever heard of such a thing...???”
Now we know.

Mount cameras on your cars and around your homes. There are free software and cheap equipment for that. Such things are best suited to your personal security than to increasing intimidation, taxes/fees and suppression of economic activity.
Private license plate cameras are great for rural residents, too. They can even be shared and are great for trespassing cases.
Apparently this program was created and is largely funded by the feds, probably DHS. No doubt Syracuse forwards all their data to the feds who rely on willing local agencies in order to create a national data base.
