This proposal does very little to invade your privacy further than your number plate does at the moment. All the hot air in this thread about the government being able to track your car and do you for speeding is equally true for number plates being OCRed - a proven and widely used technology. But do I see lots of people ripping off their numberplates to defend their privacy? Naah!
Given that we allow compulsory numberplates, recorded in a (no doubt leaky) government database at the moment this is hardly going to impact on our privacy.
If we were talking about our clothes or shoes (or bodies!) being tagged, I could understand the furore, but this isn't going to make any difference to anything much.
BTW - I guess those of you moaning about loss of privacy have all stopped using your cellphones which can be easily tracked.....
