Seems like a viable option these days.
IRS Among Agencies Using License Plate-Tracking Vendor
The Internal Revenue Service and other U.S. agencies awarded about $415,000 in contracts to a license plate-tracking company before Homeland Security leaders dropped a plan for similar work amid privacy complaints.
Federal offices such as the Forest Service and the U.S. Air Force’s Air Combat Command chose Livermore, California-based Vigilant Solutions to provide access to license plate databases or tools used to collect plate information, according to government procurement records compiled by Bloomberg.
Vigilant, a closely held company, has received such work since 2009. In February, Jeh Johnson, secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, ordered the cancelation of an immigration agency plan to buy access to national license plate data. While the technology can help solve crimes, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups have said the mass collection of data infringes the privacy of innocent people.
“Especially with the IRS, I don’t know why these agencies are getting access to this kind of information,†said Jennifer Lynch, a senior staff attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation, a San Francisco-based privacy-rights group. “These systems treat every single person in an area as if they’re under investigation for a crime — that is not the way our criminal justice system was set up or the way things work in a democratic society.â€
Oh, Ms. Lynch. You don’t seriously believe they consider anyone who doesn’t vote for them worthy of living in a “democratic society”.
I mean, they haven’t even tied your license plate to the list of who gave what to which campaign yet.
Remember folks, the left believes that if you have a Doctorate in 12th Century Feminist Literature and are $250K in debt to the government for your college loans, you should be allowed to take over private property in NYC to protest and take a shit in the street while leaning up against a cop car.
But if you are a rancher who is refusing to pay $250K in grazing fees to the BLM, you are a domestic terrorist who deserves to have 100 heavily armed SWAT team members raid your ranch.
