True. Perhaps the last best case for taking a taxi.
Or a bus, paid with cash, wearing a veil.
Steal car to commit crimes with, problem solved.

Ok, we changed to that from http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-carlsbad-license-pl... .
Current article link still seems to have the same paywall. Interestingly, it's almost exactly the same paywall. Edit: Seems they're both owned by the same parent company: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tronc#Current_properties
union tribune (previously UT-San Diego) was purchased by parent Tronc which owns latimes among others...

are those parking enforcement people at SFO cops? I always thought they were hired hands or something. They do wear shiny badges to look like cops though. While the police have their faults, they usually control things much better, I feel. The dropoff area at SFO is a tragedy.
Fly SJC or OAK whenever you can. Much less painful.
Yup, I usually stick to SJC, except Intl. flights. I go there mostly to pick up visiting friends.

#64I have no problem with this. Cars are incredibly dangerous, cause over a million deaths a year. I have no problem with every single car being constantly tracked.

Citation needed. For the US this number is less than 50,000, where are other 950,000 car deaths occurring?

#66> Four council members, however, said they’re confident the information can be kept secure Based on what? The contract appears to be with a company that provides safety equipment, not electronics/surveillance equipment. How exactly is Mallory Safety & Supply a trusted security provider? > and that the system will increase safety for residents and police officers. Based on what? > They also said it may deter criminals…
Based on bureaucratic overconfidence. The real problem with most american cities is that there isn't that much crime yet the politicians feel the need to fight non-existent unfightable crime by making our lives miserable. California could have lead the way in offering good solutions for homelessness, mental illness, drug war, school choice etc. but yet it pushes for more and more nazi styled policies.
Yeah, the Nazis were into license plate readers, big time. It's what they are most remembered for. License plate readers and genocide. But mostly license plate readers.

How would this help physical auto safety?

The US is about 4.3% of the world population. Typically, other populous countries have less cars per capita, but also higher accident and fatality rates.

#69Fastrak already does this, using any toll crossing or paid express lane triggers it. Good luck entering SF from Marin without getting scanned.
How good are those cameras, though? I've crossed from Marin at least 8 times now, each time with the "cash taker" lanes having no staff. I assumed it would be like in Houston, where you just get billed via mail, or can call and pay. Nobody I've called is aware of me owing anything on my plate, though, and I've never got anything in the mail. Maybe I did my plates wrong... I also never received the ticket the angry SF…
My parents (from out of state) got their Golden Gate Bridge toll in the mail a long time after they visited. I forget exactly, but I think it was at least a year later. There were no late fees or anything like that.

#70my initial reaction is to be against this, and then I think but I'm for driverless cars and that cat is pretty much born outside of the bag.
