In the example you cite, those functions are contracted out to private parties (e.g., EZPass) in virtually 100% of the cases, at least in the US. Even if that was not true, why do you assume that a government employee would never capture and sell that information to another party for personal gain? Because government employees as a group have proven to be so virtuous, honest, and incorruptible? in Message 2, dated Fri, 22 Apr 2011 07:29:49 -0700, mark seiden <mis () seiden com> wrote: not to mention that ocr-able license plate on your vehicle and the electronic toll collection device in the vehicle make excellent persistent tracking cookies. i'm more worried about private parties tracking these days... say set up high res cameras with a good view of the major highways and scan all of the license plates.
