ORWELLIAN SATELLITE TRACKING TO BE USED TO COLLECT ROAD TAX!
Under the proposed plans, in California,Florida,Oregon,Massachusetts,Minnesota and other states drivers would be forced to install GPS satellite tracking devices in their vehicles and the government would track their every movement while being taxed 10 cents for every mile they travel. This Draconian technology is already in use in parts of Europe.
Although all the details are still being worked out, the so-called Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) tax could cost 10 cents per mile and also be based on the time of day a driver is traveling on the roads. Randy Rentschler with the Metropolitan Transportation Commission said there is going to be a concern from consumers about government tracking. “We’re not interested in where they go. We’re only interested in the amount they travel,” said Rentschler. The truth is all the GPS information will be given to law enforcement and the federal government as well as sold to corporations for profit at the expense of your privacy. Several other states have similar plans to completely end the freedom and privacy of car owners. If this preposterous idea is implemented it will one day be nationwide and the government and cops will know your whereabouts at all times. It will all be linked to a central database and used against you by God knows who for every conceivable reason under the sun!
