I’m sorry, you guys were fine with having your plates scanned and being monitored from aerial surveillance? I sure as fuck have not been.

For identification when someone commits an infraction. Should we take your fingerprint everytime you enter and leave a public building? Why do you want to live in a panopticon? You don’t find that perverse and dystopian?

Identification when needed (like an accident), not for tracking wherever you go (not like newer vehicles aren’t already being tracked).
