Comment on Hackers Can Jailbreak Digital License Plates to Make Others Pay Their Tolls and Tickets

Anything that makes evading law enforcement surveillance is good in my book. Personally, if you’re going to hack them in order to avoid traffic issues, please use the license plates of police officers instead so that they have to investigate themselves. Please don’t use like little old ladies or something. That would be mean.

That would make you incredibly conspicuous. Instead, using it on the family of police officers. All the fun of robbing an old woman but with in a clean, anti-authoritarian aftertaste.

That’s not surveillance… having a license plate on a motor vehicle has NOTHING to do with surveillance.

  No, but the proliferation of automated license plate readers and location tracking through them is definitely surveillance. And therefore, if changing your license plate number trivially can make that damn near impossible, I’m all for it.

    They do the same for my guns too. Completely agree. It should be easier to buy guns without any tracking and we should file off the serial numbers. /s
    
    You’re driving a car. It’s a giant rolling machine that people need to identify. It’s not a right. My car makes 600hp and launches like crazy, and hits 180. Should I also cover my license plate numbers so I can drive everywhere going 180? I mean, I don’t care, but I’m sure others do. Also, I LOVE going fast…
    
    Be angry about that on your phone, in your adverts, and in other areas. Things that have capacity to kill people should be heavily monitored and cared for.

    While I don’t disagree, whether or not something should be tracked has jack all to do with whether or not tracking it is surveillance.
    
    Also, maybe don’t just jump to the conclusion that someone is championing being a raging shithead.

    You’re right, we should actually file our serial numbers off of our guns, and we should also 3D print them so that they have no serial numbers to begin with.
