Police State

It makes no sense that this spy blimp would be used in war zones. It would too easy to shoot down. This is for domestic spying.

Cops are using license plate readers like crazy.
"Today, tens of thousands of license plate readers (LPRs) are being used by law enforcement agencies all over the country—practically every week, local media around the country report on some LPR expansion. But the system's unchecked and largely unmonitored use raises significant privacy concerns. License plates, dates, times, and locations of all cars seen are kept in law enforcement databases for months or even years at a time. In the worst case, the New York State Police keeps all of its LPR data indefinitely. No universal standard governs how long data can or should be retained."
I have a better idea. How about we ban their use without a warrant.
