“Taxi drivers in Washington, DC last week filed a lawsuit against the city over its decision to force the installation of GPS spying devices in all cabs. The DC Taxicab Commission set rules for a ‘smart’ taxi meter system. These new devices would record the identity of the driver, the time and mileage of each trip along with GPS coordinates, the amount of a fare charged and real-time location of the cab. Passengers would be identified automatically when paying by credit card. The data would be accessible to dispatchers and DC police. Required display screens would have to show messages from the taxicab commission, public service announcements and ‘movie clips.'”
