A controversial plan to embed radio frequency identification chips in license plates in the United Kingdom also may be coming to the United States, experts told UPI's Wireless World...

..."Police will be able to track your every move when you drive,"
i don't want anyone...not even my g/f or any friend or enemy for that matter tracking my every move let alone an official agency. who here would not be offended if your signicant other asked you to list everywhere you went everytime you went out even if you had nothing to hide?

when you consider most serious crimes are commited with stolen cars, where the crime is committed before the car is reported stolen and bombers use rented vehicles the only purpose this could serve is to track the average citizen. and wouldn't this encourge the murder of vehicle owners to keep the car from being reported stolen longer?

"What if they put these readers at a mosque? They could tell who was inside at a worship service by which cars were in the parking lot."
this would also hold true for peace rallys, book signings, lectures, abortion clinics, gay bars, AA and NA meetings and just about any gathering where it's noboy's buisness if you were there or not.

the e-plates can furnish access control, automated tolling, asset tracking, traffic-flow monitoring and vehicle crime and "non-compliance." The chips can be outfitted with 128 bit encryption to prevent hacking.
encryption is something i dont know much about so i could very well be wrong here but if you have a chip sending out a unique id wouldn't that transmission be the same every time it's read encryped or not? so what's to prevent an...i don't know...lets say an employer from geting a receiver and matching up an encrypted id with your car's plate and keeping track of your commings and goings. or a pricate concern from assembling a data base matching encrypted id's with an address much the same way vans drive around and record what tv chanel everyone is watching at what time.

to me this is an outrage!
