DEA chief: US abandoned plan to track cars near gun shows
Published January 28, 2015Associated Press

The Drug Enforcement Administration abandoned an internal proposal to use surveillance cameras for photographing vehicle license plates near gun shows in the United States to investigate gun-trafficking, the agency's chief said Wednesday.

DEA Administrator Michelle Leonhart said in a statement that the proposal memorialized in an employee's email was only a suggestion, never authorized by her agency and never put into action. The AP also learned that the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives did not authorize or approve the license plate surveillance plan.

Automated license plate scanners take pictures of every vehicle that passes their field of view and record the information in a database that can be used to track a vehicle's movements over time.

Federal, state and local police agencies routinely use the cameras mounted on patrol cruisers or in fixed locations, such as utility poles or busy intersections. Collectively, they capture the movements of millions of vehicles each day. Private companies, including tow truck agencies, also use them.

The scanners have raised significant privacy concerns even though they generally only record cars and trucks driving on public roads. There are no consistent, national rules that govern how police can use the information, how long it can be saved and how widely the records can be shared with other police agencies.

The Wall Street Journal reported the DEA's aborted plan in Wednesday's editions.

Soooo now we have an agency STILL TIED to HOMELAND SECURITY trying to circumvent the rules on registering gun owners, by tying it to LICENSE PLATES!

(shakes head) I would love a guv'mint that doesn't constantly try to NANNY STATE me!

[MarcSpaz]

Great... now I have to start stealing cars to go to the gun show. Anyone know where I can get a nice repo kit cheap?

[SHMIV]

You won't have to steal cars; just license plates. If you do it right, no one will notice months...

Great idea! Nobody ever checks to make sure their front plate is still there. And I just need a screw gun.

[Swampman]

C'mon guys! Don't you have a spare set of plates you never turned in?

[MarcSpaz]

Of course. But they still trace back to me.

Oh wait!!! I have my father in-law's plates! He passed a bit more than a year ago. Couple fake registration stickers and I'm in!

Have you forgotten that they monitor this forum?

[MarcSpaz]

No, but I'm the guy they asked to monitor it. So, we're all good.

Oh I'm sure by just signing up an account on this website we all have dossier files at the NSA.
But these days, you can believe I'm way past giving a rats

[Reverenddel]

Yep! If you're on Facebook "Liking" the NRA, GOA, VCDL, firearms companies, and if you've sent an e-mail/letter to a guv'mint rep being pro-gun, and if you have every bought a gun legally, and if you have a concealed handgun...

You are... Indeed... on the list.

But what I find funny? Some of those that CHECK the list? Believe like us, and have the above items in their own dossier.

[MarcSpaz]

keep your enemies closer...

[Mindflayer]

I'm not on any list! You guys are all crazy gun nuts! Obama is the best president ever! ATF, ATF, ATF!

[MarcSpaz]

You're fired. Turn in your Man Card on the way out.

Mindflayer lives way too close to D.C.

They infect the water. To quote "Signs" about the water "Eetz con-tainmated".

[Mindflayer]

MarcSpaz, I AM A REAL MODERN MAN. I GREW A BEARD*! It goes with my skinny jeans** and my Prius***! I believe people are victims and I am offended that you would insinuate that I need to turn in my Man Card! The only cards I carry now are Mothers Demand Action, Everytown USA! Hollywood people and Congress know best! Obama! Obama! He's my hero!





* I wish I could grow a beard. You know that drunk fallen samurai in all the old Japanese movies with the wiry, insane whiskers? Yeah... that's me. I can grow a goatee but I'm in IT, and there's too many of those.
** I can't wear skinny jeans. My ex tried to get me to try some on once. You can't have any junk in the back or front. I don't know how guys do it without wincing and crying. You workout, have a butt at all, they don't fit.
*** Did you know if you own a Prius less than 10 years - like a LOT of folks do - that it is actually worse for the environment than my "gas guzzling" EcoBoost F150?
