Of course, the toll transponders can be put under bridges, on bank
drive through lanes, drive up restaurants. Any where they want to
track people.

OK, let me rephrase:

"I also wonder why anyone that ever drives on a toll road doesn't have
an E-ZPass."

"Some people prefer not being digitally tracked."

Right...those hundreds of cars that I blow by at the toll booths are
all worried about be tracked.

Like their pictures aren't be taken at every the toll booth anyway -
digitally.


Unless meta-data is assigned to the picture by OCR'ing the license tag
in realtime, or a human punching it in, all they have is a virtual pile
of pictures. A transponder hit, OTOH, is in the data set basically
instantly. Raw video ain't worth much without the robot AI or humans to
look at it, and the time to do so.

I'm actually surprised license tags don't have 2d barcodes yet, like
they have had in sci-fi movies and TV for 20 years. They have gotten
really, really good with reading those at a distance, and they cost a
fraction of what even an entry-level transponder does.
