Extreme Traffic Enforcement

In a recent post I pointed out various ways that license plate recognition devices could be combined with other databases to invade privacy.

One obvious use for ALPR that I did not mention is speeding tickets. If you’ve gotten from point A to point B in less time than would be possible at the speed limit, it would be simple to have the system automatically spit you out a citation. Surveillance drones could also be used for traffic enforcement.

**Opinion**

I sure wouldn't be surprised if the New York State Thruway Authority shared information pertaining to drivers that get or have gotten from point A to point B in less time than would be possible at the speed limit. For that matter, I wouldn't put it past other states from following similar practices.
