DEA cameras tracking hundreds of millions of car journeys across the US | ITworld

My son sent me this link to an IT World web site that reveals that DEA cameras are tracking hundreds of millions of car journeys across the US:

I'm not surprised.  I figured that all of the cameras we see along the highway are doing it now.  If it isn't DEA, it is FBI, Border Patrol, State Highway Patrol, or County or City government.  Supposedly the DEA databases are only kept for "6 months" and then deleted.  Really?  Or are they archived?  Who supervises or inspects that they are, in fact, deleted? What about all of the other data bases?  All of the Toll roads not only collect the electronic "fast trak" or "sun pass" information, but they also capture license plates and have a database.  Undoubtedly, the Government agencies have access to that also.

According to the article, the DEA justifies the camera system by saying that they were able to capture some Marijuana, Cocaine and cash.   One more example of how the Government's unnecessary and unconstitutional war on drugs has trampled some of our freedoms.
