The Panopticon...

This sounds horrible and dystopian...

BusPatrol plans to scan the license plates of all vehicles the buses drive past, and then let law enforcement search that data. The plan would essentially turn school buses into roaming surveillance vehicles.

Basically turning your local Anytown School District's bus fleet into mobile Flock cameras.

They've already drawn scrutiny from Florida to Pennsylvania.

Still Going...

While out and about the other day I happened across my car's older sibling...

At the time I thought the aero on the late Fox body Mustang GT was a little overwrought. My opinion has mellowed with time, although the cheese grater taillight louvers are still a bit much.
