Talk about big brother watching
 

According to Ward’s, the European Commission wants to use satellite navigation for vehicle tracking (subscription required). If the government knows where every vehicle is at all times, drivers can be fined for speeding, or automatically billed for parking. Employers can monitor commercial drivers to make sure they stay on track and lawmakers can calculate how many miles – sorry, kilometers – you’ve driven and tax you based on that rather than standard tolls. Despite protests about invasion of privacy, this project and others continue to gain traction in Europe.

Time to move...

I knew it would happen eventually... :thumbdn:

You don't have to go to the UK; our administration right now is trying to get legal clearance to enable and allow tracking the cell phone of any and every American, without a warrant.

:ponder: I wonder if they are already doing that. We leave footprints everywhere we go.

Another reason I don't have a cell phone.

Almost every major truck company / delivery company has put GPS on their trucks. No more visits to "mama" on company time.

:LOL: The neighbor of our friends who have lost power for the last 2 days was forced to finally buy a cell phone....as they had no communication :D

Finally found someone who is LOWER TECH than me :roflmao:

:ponder: Always wondering why so many fear "privacy invasion" ?

Do they have something to hide :hidebc:

Think about how many crimes are solved by the video monitors....

If they are going to watch and monitor us, we should at least be told what are the goals and objectives and how the information will be gathered, stored and used..
