Assuming these cameras capture
only license plate data (which cannot, and does not, happen) even the 100% elimination of all vehicle-involved criminal activity (which cannot, and will not, happen)
cannot possibly justify the creation of a searchable database of every vehicle-involved
non-criminal activity.
Especially when access to that database is for sale.
Also a good alternative title for this piece would be “A Thought-Cop’s Case for Big Brother”.
