If you have an IP-enabled security camera, you can download some free, open-source software from GitHub and boom—you have a fully functional automated license plate reader, reports ArsTechnica .
Matt Hill, OpenALPR's founder, told Ars technica "I'm a big privacy advocate... now you've got LPR just in the hands of the government, which isn't a good thing."
Will "they" like it when "we" have a crowdsourced database of where and when congressmen, judges and cops go throughout their work day?
Does this level the playing field? Open yet another can of worms? Both?

A liberal without a cause? I did not posit my "rooting", there was no opinion on the morality of this action by me. You asked a question:
I answered it.
If you wish to refute my reasoning;
1. Wikipedia is not a valid source for an educated audience and it will be ignored as it should be.
2. A "news" source owned by Chris Hughes is definitely worse than wikipedia.
3. You will have to refute the reasoning, not just the technicalities to convince anyone. Sure NSL gets around any need for any warrant anywhere until SCOTUS gets a hearing on them. That has as little to do with the original point and detracts from rational, cool-headed discussion just like your other hyperbolic statements and ad hominem.
Perhaps you need to take a break, calm your anger, and start again here. [philosophypages.com]
