I Tried to Warn You
Many on the left (and even some on the right) have been complaining about the cost of housing. Six years ago, I began warning people when our supposed small government oriented Republican governor Ron DeSantis Read more…

… huh, frankly, I thought they had that already pretty much w/ Palantir’s software? Frankly, I’m surprised they don’t have it.

Yeah another way to waste time and taxpayer money. While making some people wealthy, of course. And to what end?
Like the terrorist van has a properly registered plate. The only properly registered plates are the taxpayers — who are being ripped off.

Remember anon, they only care about your safety & security.
Think Kash Patel will have real-time monitors installed in his fleet of armored BMWs?

I’ve had a SunPass transponder in my ride for at least 15 years, which provides the same information (license plate number, owner’s address, etc.) but not visually read.
Back in ’21, I got a letter from the state saying I ran through a toll plaza without paying and basically, “pay up now.” It wasn’t me. The reason I got the letter was that they had license plate reader that screwed up and read a number that really was mine, but it’s on my boat trailer and the photo showed a sports car. I couldn’t read the tag, but their system read something. I contacted the agency, explained that it was a boat trailer not a car, and they cancelled the fee immediately.
Whenever any kind of automatic system like that is used, there’s going to be errors. Planning how to deal with errors needs to be thoroughly dealt with. For things like a $5 toll, no big deal. I can imagine, though, the Fibbies or some law enforcement agency thinking they’ve got leads on a major terror attack getting ready to happen and they get a hit on a license tag number that’s as accurate as the sports car in my situation. That means they send SWAT teams to your door. In a lot of planners’ minds it would be acceptable to break into your house and kill you if you try to defend yourself. After all, if they kill everyone in the house, it’s still far less than the attack they think they’re preventing.
I’m more concerned with mistakes like that than them knowing I went to Orlando on Valentine’s Day, say, or pretty much anything. NYFB, but it won’t result in a 3:30 AM visit from a SWAT team with itchy trigger fingers.
