Massachusetts Plans To Keep Track of Where Your Car Has Been

Attila Dimedici writes "Massachusetts wants to establish a database with the information gathered by license plate scanners installed in police cars. The scanners will scan license plates of every car the police vehicle passes and transmit that information (along with the location) to a database that will be made available to various government agencies. The data wil be kept indefinitely."

Patent idea!

I'd like to propose a new line of designer license plate, the CAPTCHA-plate. You heard it here first, folks.
