We might al be concern of how we are being tracked, but I think people generally willingly give up privacy when you trade for convenience.
Could a City official use it to track their spouse or political enemy?

No matter how much surveillance ability they have I can say I don’t care ...it is totally transparent to my daily life because I have nothing to hide..on the other hand bad guys got to worry.

About the worst trouble I can have is a speeding or light ticket , a fair price to pay to catching serious criminals

Many law abiding citizens don’t like being tracked.

Especially if you are a “trump supporter” you don’t need a radical liberal prosecutor (like the Manhattan DA who goes fishing after trump people and republicans)- to have another tool to “find” a crime against you.

Nonsense ...for the average American if you did nothing you got nothing to worry about.

Worry more about the internet tracking

Meh. Newer toll bridges and highways have plate readers that send you the bill. Big deal. What makes this a Big Brother vs Little Sister situation is puzzling to me. Plates are there for a reason, heck, people have their family pets id'd with microchips nowadays. Everything is up for checking, from serial numbers to licence registration, and I welcome the cameras for speed checks or anything else.

People are more than free to go off the grid

Exactly.

That's a good, succinct way to put it. If you're up for a speeding or other infraction, and can't swallow it, it's nobody's fault other than the cops. Lol

I think some of you need to go on Netflix and watch the (former CBS) series "Person of Interest".
