(14,162 posts)1. I see license plate scanning going on here
in the states, my town, almost every day. More now than before the NSA craziness broke. I take my kid to the mall, I get scanned, I take another kid to a public lesson, I get scanned. I park on the street to wait for my wife, scanned. I park in a public parking lot to go to a movie, scanned... and that's just this week.
