REPORT ABUSIVE MESSAGE
Subject Your Car Could Soon Be in Homeland Security’s National License Plate Tracking System
Poster Handle Nostril Domus
Post Content
The Department of Homeland Security is taking bids for a new tracking system that will take pictures of your vehicle and track your movements even if you aren’t suspected of a crime.

The department published a solicitation notice this week to establish a national license plate recognition service, and plans to hire a private company to create the tracking system.

Homeland Security’s vision for the license plate database, which would draw data from readers that scan the tags of every vehicle crossing their path, is to help catch fugitive illegal immigrants, according to the Washington Post. But the database could easily contain more than 1 billion records and could be shared with other law enforcement agencies, raising concerns that the movements of ordinary citizens who are under no criminal suspicion could be scrutinized.

DHS also wants police to have 24/7 access to the database on their smartphones.
