The Department of Homeland Security wants to create a national license plate tracking system
According to this story the Department of Homeland Security wants to create a national license plate tracking system and is currently taking bids from companies to do just that. Here is more:
The Department of Homeland Security is seeking bids from companies able to provide law enforcement officials with access to a national license-plate tracking system — a year after canceling a similar solicitation over privacy issues.
The reversal comes after officials said they had determined they could address concerns raised by civil liberties advocates and lawmakers about the prospect of the department’s gaining widespread access, without warrants, to a system that holds billions of records that reveal drivers’ whereabouts.
In a privacy impact assessment issued Thursday, the DHS says that it is not seeking to build a national database or contribute data to an existing system.
Instead, it is seeking bids from companies that already gather the data to say how much they would charge to grant access to law enforcement officers at Immigration and Customs Enforcement, a DHS agency. Officials said they also want to impose limits on ICE personnel’s access to and use of the data.
Of course this raises Fourth Amendment concerns:
“If this goes forward, DHS will have warrantless access to location information going back at least five years about virtually every adult driver in the U.S., and sometimes to their image as well,” said Gregory T. Nojeim, senior counsel for the Center for Democracy & Technology.
But I find the Department of Homeland Security’s assertion that the agency “will not contribute data to an existing system” to be quite interesting to say the least because it implies that there already is a national database. And that is because there is!
The Department of Injustice already has what amounts to a national database because that agency has been tracking the vehicle movements of millions of Americans and has been doing so for quite some time now and is using the war on drugs to justify it.
The Justice Department has been building a national database to track in real time the movement of vehicles around the U.S., a secret domestic intelligence-gathering program that scans and stores hundreds of millions of records about motorists, according to current and former officials and government documents.
The primary goal of the license-plate tracking program, run by the Drug Enforcement Administration, is to seize cars, cash and other assets to combat drug trafficking, according to one government document. But the database’s use has expanded to hunt for vehicles associated with numerous other potential crimes, from kidnappings to killings to rape suspects, say people familiar with the matter.
Many state and local law-enforcement agencies are accessing the database for a variety of investigations, according to people familiar with the program, putting a wealth of information in the hands of local officials who can track vehicles in real time on major roadways.
James Madison once said, “I believe there are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations,” and I think this shows him to be most prophetic indeed.
The sad part is that most Americans do not seem to care because, to paraphrase Benjamin Franklin, they seem all too willing to trade a little essential liberty for some temporary safety. I don’t think my signature phrase has ever been more apt:
Malo periculosam libertatem quam quietum servitium
America's Watchtower 
THEY SHOULD FOCUS ON TRACKING THEMSELVES:
Judicial Watch – Because no one is above the law!
Dear Supporter,
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton will appear on “Special Report with Bret Baier” on the Fox News Channel during the 6 pm ET hour this evening, Friday, April 3, regarding the Obama administration’s announcement that the Department of Homeland Security has launched a new program offering free transportation for children of immigrants from three Central American countries to the United States, and a special refugee/parole program offering “resettlement assistance” and permanent residency upon their arrival.
Parents applying for the program can be permanent residents, parolees or beneficiaries of Obama’s recent executive amnesty. Should their children be accepted, those families will receive many taxpayer-funded perks and benefits, including a free education, food stamps, medical care and living expenses, despite many of their parents having immigrated illegally.
A State Department official recently stated that the program will be completely funded by American taxpayers, though the official claimed to have no idea what the cost will be.
Sincerely,
The Judicial Watch Team

Yes they should be tracking themselves or better yet we should be tracking them! Somehow I think they would oppose this idea because they feel they are above the law.

Laura, we have been programmed that the Government will take care of us and keep us safe, right? Of course this is for our own good, they can keep track of all the bad people. What they don’t say is they can keep track of all of the good ones, too! Just more and more control and there are those that just see absolutely nothing wrong with this!

Exactly Lou, the indoctrination is working and it is going to be hard to reverse. Too many people do not seem to understand that if they are doing nothing wrong the government should not be watching them. They have it backwards because they feel if they are not doing anything wrong they do not have to worry about the government watching them.

Because the people have abdicated their duty to hold our representatives accountable for every wrong doing, our government now blatantly, flagrantly violates our laws and the Constitution. So much so that people actually think the government has the authority to do this.

What I find almost as troubling as this tracking is the fact that people do not seem to care about it, it is because of them that the government is allowed to get away with things like this!

What we need is a Congress made of up representatives who will rein in these executive branch agencies. What they need to do is revoke the ability of every agency to write its own regulations. Turn the executive branch back into one that executes only the laws Congress writes. Revoke the president’s ability to avoid executing our laws.
Yeah….that’ll never happen.

Exactly Laura, the Congress has abdicated its authority by creating these agencies to do their job for them and reigning them in would be the first logical step but whenever someone suggests this they are labeled radicals or part of the fringe, how we can change this mindset at this point is beyond me.
