Re: AC Morality
"Second case - terror! - where every budding jihadi knows (thanks to people like Snowden) that he should take the battery and SIM out of his phone before driving off to meet his fellow jihadis. ANPR not only allows the authorities to do live tracking of suspects, but also allows them to go back and look for at where he was during those times when the suspect has tried to go off-grid."
And since well before Snowden any villain of any stripe knows that if he's up to something (AKA go off-grid) false plates are a good idea.
