UK version of spy system was used to target political activists
The Department of Homeland Security is set to activate a national license plate tracking system that will be shared with law enforcement, allowing DHS officers to take photos of any license plate using their smartphone and upload it to a database which will include a “hot list” of “target vehicles”.
The details are included in a PDF attachment uploaded yesterday to the Federal Business Opportunities website under a solicitation entitled “National License Plate Recognition Database.”
The system will “track vehicle license plate numbers that pass through cameras or are voluntarily entered into the system from a variety of sources (access control systems, asset recovery specialists, etc.) and uploaded to share with law enforcement” in order to help locate “criminal aliens and absconders.”

I guess I'll be on the "hot list" of "target vehicles" when they see my anti-obama bumper stickers. F&#@ 'em.
They make good targets when sighting in your rifle.
The cameras, mind you.

I see the speed camera on South Division disappeared. What happened there? Not enough tickets or not really in the school zone?
