California has approved a new method of tracking your movements anywhere.
There is no way the government could misuse it. Never!
California will follow Michigan and Arizona in allowing all registered drivers to receive digital license plates. Since 2018, a pilot initiative in the Golden States has allowed approximately 175,000 drivers to use digital license plates. By doing this, customers will be able to renew their registration and personalize their license plates without going inside a DMV facility.
It will be applied to combat crime as well. Digital license plates have the ability to display warnings that the automobile is stolen or that an Amber Alert is in effect nearby. Additionally, the plates have technology incorporated inside them that enables continuous tracking. Theoretically, this would aid in finding stolen vehicles. In reality, anyone is able to obtain the information—the state government, a law enforcement agency, or a hacker—can track your car at all times.
It is simple to understand how this may go wrong. Although drivers currently have the option of choosing digital license plates or not, the California Democratic Party enjoys having complete control over the lives of its constituents. In several sectors of life, the state has outlawed the use of plastic bags and straws. When it claims to worry about crime, what is to stop it from mandating digital license plates?
There are certain issues with allowing the California government to know where you park your automobile. Democrats in California would be able to find out, for instance, if you drove to a gun store. This isn’t entirely hypothetical, either, as the state earlier this year disclosed the private information of those with concealed carry licences, including their full names and residences.
Privacy is frequently the cost of convenience. Although it’s possible that California won’t ever require digital license plates, the prospect still exists. There is a chance that the data won’t ever be compromised, leaked, or utilized against residents. People need to be cautious about it in our increasingly digital and virtual society because many of these technologies have expenses of their own.
