Setting up a world in which you are forced to drive and then making incredibly draconian surveillance of your performance of that required task is just cruel. Put this effort into providing me travel options that don't come with the risk of major injury, death or jail time.

Just sick mass surveilling the entire population to find a few small criminals.

Nobody should be able to be searched or tracked unless a warrent is issued.

So much for the land of the free.

Some crimes are unforgivable for cops. Like driving while black.

I know it doesn't count for much anymore (if it ever did) but is this even constitutional? I'm sure it'll be treated like the other mass surveillance systems and excused as "metadata".
