NYPD to scan every car

Who's the fuckhead who thought of this?

The New York City police have announced a new project to scan and track every vehicle in Manhattan. And people are outraged.

Police will store data on every car's movements for 30 days.

Who the fuck would even want to implement such a shitty program? You have to remember though this is the same sort of Orwellian fascism as the Patriot Act, TeenScreen, friskings at NFL games, and other pet programs of the spittle crowd. This tyranny has gotten so far out of hand that it seems almost anticlimactic now.

Under this surveillance system, all cars would be scanned and photographed as they cross bridges or tunnels. About 3,000 cameras would dot Manhattan.

It gets worse: Booths would also be erected (hey Beavis you said erected) on street corners to spy on pedestrians and passing cars.

A similar right-wing plan is in the works for Washington, D.C., following a bribe by the Department of Homeland Suckyurity. In the Washington area, fixed tag readers will scan every car that drives past and match it against federal databases.

America is a police state. Not just a police state, but a Stalinist police state.
