Navy database tracks civilians' parking tickets, fender-benders, raising fears of domestic spying

A parking ticket, traffic citation or involvement in a minor fender-bender are enough to get a person's name and other personal information logged into a massive, obscure federal database run by the U.S. military.

The Law Enforcement Information Exchange, or LinX, has already amassed 506.3 million law enforcement records ranging from criminal histories and arrest reports to field information cards filled out by cops on the beat even when no crime has occurred.

Wow! Get out your seat and STAND UP AND CHEER!!!! You are not even a criminal and the police have your name and other info in databases that NEVER go away.
If you saw your neighbor recording the tag numbers, dates and times of all your visitors, you'd want to kick his ace.
Nameless, faceless strangers do so much more than THAT and you can't wait to say "what a good job you're doing!!"
Your complacent stupidity is beyond description.
