Government is Watching You. . . Local Government Is Watching You Too!

Thanks Ernie. . .

Why Are the Association of Governments Watching YOU?

At every city council meeting we are told that the Association of Governments only want to assist in building regional roads. They deny having anything to do with controlling you and watching you. Well, it appears we are RIGHT as Usual.

San Diegans unsettled by revelations that the federal government has collected vast troves of information about them might also look in their own rearview mirrors, as local governments are amassing data on their comings and goings for the purpose of fighting crime.

Police vehicles equipped with cameras pointing every direction canvass parking lots and streets, gathering data about the time, date and place individual license plates are spotted.

The information gets fed into a database maintained by the San Diego Association of Governments, a transportation and planning organization, cross-referenced with information on stolen vehicles and used to track down the bad guys.

The data trove had 32 million data points as of January, with 2 million records added each month.
