My Rant involves the state of: New York (mostly)
I find it amazing that technology can convict people of wrong doing. Even on a best day in electrincland errors and crashes occur every hour. Reliance on this technology is foolish. Especially when citizens are assumed guilty until proven innocent because of it.
In NY. State the Licence Plate Scanner is in effect in just about every town I drive around in, Silently scanning Plate numbers looking for the Uninsured, Suspended/Expired licenced driver. This causes problems when data entered incorrectly. This technology is faster then the Mail, So, by the time a citizen is informed of an incorrectly entered violation, most likely a police car equipped with such equipment has pulled them over and towed their car, and possibly put them in jail.
I can imagine the police sitting in their cars, looking at the Scanner readout, and looking for prior offences, then harassing citizens that payed their debt to society.
The Speed Camera is another one. don't get me started about temperatures and electronic malfunction, but you all should know that electronics in extreme heat run slower then those that are at optimal temperature. + fog and humidity.
Don't get me started on EZ-Pass either.
I'm gonna be sick.
