NH lawmakers kill bill to spy on motorists with license plate scanners

“House members Wednesday voted overwhelmingly — 250-97 — to kill a bill that would have allowed police to use license plate scanners, and then banned the issue for the rest of the session.  With the House vote, New Hampshire continues to be the only state in the country to prohibit the use of license plate scanners. Collecting license plate information at toll booths and bridges is allowed.  Recording license plate data is the same as Big Brother watching citizens in George Orwell’s novel ‘1984’ opponents said — or at least a big step down that slippery slope.  However, supporters of House Bill 675 said it would improve public safety and make police departments more efficient.”
