Next Stop On The Road To Surveillance State: License Plate Scanners

In Sanford, Florida, police are already sending ‘Dear John’ notices in the mail the owners of cars that cops see ‘lingering in areas known for prostitution.’ The goal here isn’t to arrest would-be Johns. This is extra-judicial punishment. The goal is to embarrass these guys should their wives open the letters. Michigan lawmakers are currently considering a bill that would enable police to put a boot on any car whose owner owes state or local government any amount of money. Arlington County, Virginia, passed a similar law in 2005, causing county treasurer Frank O’Leary to say, ‘I rub my hands together in great glee and anticipation. I think it’s beautiful, it gives us a whole new dimension to collection.'”
