License Plate readers are being installed by DEA to allegedly “catch smugglers.”
License plate readers are being stalled on I-19 on the border in Souther Arizona by the DEA as a tool to “catch smugglers.” We all know that Arizona is a major gateway for drug smugglers. Some local residents are quoted as “being all for it” if it stops the smugglers. While others like Peggy Cass feel differently.
“It’s one thing if you’re in violation of something and the police pull you over but it’s another thing to record your license plate,” said Peg Cass.
Tucson resident Peg Cass called the readers a violation of privacy. She does not want her information recorded as she drives, “It’s just one more way of big brother looking at you, you know. Your medical records aren’t private anymore, nothing’s private anymore.”
So platenuts, how do you feel about the DEA logging your license plate information on a daily basis? You “all for it” or think this is a violation of our privacy?
Maybe we can get an insider at the DEA to send us all the personalized license plates passing through? Anyone DEA readers out there care to make this happen?
