ALSO just reported on the local news, the Tybee City Council has backed away from its ridiculous idea to take photos of EVERY SINGLE AUTO LICENSE PLATE that crosses onto the island, no doubt because of negative publicity like this:

Car tag scanners would track Tybee, Ga., tourists | Fox News

Tybee Island to track license plates with scanner cams - WTOC-TV: Savannah, Beaufort, SC, News, Weather & Sports

Editor's Note: Big Brother at the beach | Editor's Note | Connect Savannah - The free weekly newspaper for news , arts, music , food and drink in Savannah, Georgia

DUMB IDEA! Common sense has prevailed (for the time being).

That's great news. People were outraged. Tybee Island saw a potential loss of revenue and backed off.

Man... Mayor Buelterman used to be one of my coolest teachers at Johnson High. I knew he was a Tea Party guy, so this big brother notion just kind of baffles me.
