Number plate recognition cameras

So the government is now proposing to install these and link them to a database, which will basically record every single trip everyone makes. This is apparently necessary to aid in the "fight against terrorism" (like every other bullshit unnecessary measure that might be unpopular).

That of course is palpable nonsense, as it relies on the various groups actually correctly recording their details with the government driving records centre, the DVLA. So unless Mr O bin Laden, (address: a cave, north Pakistan) actually admitted owning the two year old blue ford, the whole thing would fail right there.

Of course it's nothing to do with terrorism, and all about keeping still more information on us. And it's becoming increasingly disturbing.
