Re: Are we surprised?
"That's cars not people"
False, cars are irrelevant in this context and the actual surveillance target is the owner of the car.
Constant and automatic movement tracking of people who happen to own a car. Stasi would be proud of that.
Cars themselves are irrelevant as this system never can "find" a stolen car. It tracks only owners.
But of course Police will lie anything to cover that up, so it's irrelevant what they claim.
" A record for all vehicles passing by a camera is stored," I.e. owners.
That means that literally everyone is tracked, as a person. Car and the owner are one entity in this context and there's no such thing as 'not guilty' here.
