Police will soon know the location of every car

My car recently got towed using this technology.

Long story short, I moved and later on ended up passing through the town my car was still registered in, so I stopped for an hour. I came back an hour later to continue my journey, and my car was booted, and 15 minutes later a tow-truck came to take my vehicle away.

All over two unpaid parking tickets from long ago.

While I might be on the wrong side of the law, it's interesting to get a glimpse of the future of law enforcement.

I'm preaching to the choir here, but the very last line in this article made me look up an old post on Bruce Schneier's blog (May 2006).
