Comment Re:Quite a bit different than NSA tracking (Score 1) 201
Tracking the movements of vehicles is quite a bit different than tracking cell phone conversations. There is no expectation of privacy when driving a vehicle on public roads. Operating a vehicle (at least in the US) is heavily regulated, requiring registration of the vehicle, insurance, and licensed operators.
This is really no different than the retinal scans and facial recognition in our future; they follow the same "no expectation of privacy" argument. Our IDs are our registration. We have insurance mandates as well. Private land is subject to eminent domain, and will be seized for unpaid taxes. The only difference I see is that our operators are not required to have licensure! The government should be for the people, but due to the apathy of the people, people have become slaves to their government.
