DEA wants to scan all license plates on Utah's 'drug corridor'
http://j.mp/Me9boF (Salt Lake Tribune)
"Everyone driving on Interstate 15 in southwest Utah may soon have
their license plate scanned by the U.S. Drug Enforcement
Administration. The DEA and two sheriffs are asking permission to
install stationary license plate scanners on the freeway in Beaver and
Washington counties. The primary purpose would be to catch or build
cases against drug traffickers, but at a Utah Legislature committee
meeting Wednesday, the sheriffs and a DEA representative described how
the scanners also could be used to catch kidnappers and violent
criminals. That, however, wasn't the concern of skeptical legislators
on the Law Enforcement and Criminal Justice Interim Committee. They
were worried about the DEA storing the data for two years and who
would be able to access it."
