Over the years in this thread, the development and rolling-out of government "license plate readers / scanners" was discussed. It is now a reality...

The article mentioned that one system "Vigilant contains over Five Billion license plate scans nationwide", and referenced as a " Nationwide Mass-Surveillance Dragnet".

Illegal immigration, terrorists, and criminals are used to justify "Mass-Surveillance".

Although H.R.4760 - Securing America's Future Act of 2018 was defeated in 2018, it was tabled for a later vote. More-than-likely it will be rebranded and voted on again.

The other day, I was at a gas station. Person in front of me was buying cigarettes, and the cashier had to scan his driver license at the register. Was that scan entered into a data base?

People use electronic debt cards to pay for most everything, creating a record of what was bought. Is a cashless society is on the horizon?

Food for thought: Drive to church, work, store, doctor's office... GPS within cellphones tracks it. In route to the locations license plate readers scan and record movement. Facial Recognition cameras on the streets, at airports and ports of entry. Cameras at stores, the work place and schools records and tracks people. Tech Giants are recording internet behavior of individuals. Companies are now implanting RFID bio-chips into employees' hands.

Massive Surveillance is a reality.
