      In order to use bridges and tunnels in NYC, you now have no choice but to forfeit your data to the Government. Probable cause? How quaint!

          When one of the resulting traffic stops goes awry -- it's inevitable -- and someone gets killed, you can thank Emperor Cuomo II.

          Notice there is no mention at all of privacy safeguards or oversight in Emperor Cuomo's triumphant decree. What could go wrong? @NYCLU

          also, cars aren't people. consider how rarely drivers are charged with maiming a pedestrian in NYC even when plate is known.

          That's a separate issue from whether police state tactics should be employed to enforce toll collection.

          this also puts framework in place for charging tolls for Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Williamsburg bridges. This city is fucked.

          Going back a few years, NYC can already pull up your picture and location anywhere in the city based on your license plate #.
