The Dutch police issued 9.2 million traffic fines on a population of 17 million. Most of this is a fully automated system from connected speed traps, to an 'invoicing system'.

I feel that if these things are fining apparently widespread behavior at such a scale the laws should change.

Last week a judge ruled that the Student Loan administration can use mandatory personal RFID equipped train tickets to detect scholarship fraud.

A mechanism no-one but the strongest privacy advocates had imagined would be used in this way.
