George Orwell, step up to the plate.

This is truly truly scary. The government back in England are preparing to test new high-tech license plates containing microchips capable of transmitting unique vehicle identification numbers and other data to readers more than 300 feet away. The point of the test is to see whether microchips will make number plates harder to tamper with and clone, said U.K. Department for Transport spokesman Ian Weller-Skitt.
Bollocks.
The point of putting RFID chips in numberplates is so that the government can spy on your every move, toll you for every road you drive on, and pull even more cash out of your pockets for the heinous and intolerably evil offence that is "speeding" (which as any educated person knows, is not the cause of most crashes).
Man I'm glad we left England. Tax upon tax upon tax, with surveillance increasing every day, and now a maniacal transport minister who seriously believes people will believe his excuse for wanting to track every vehicle.
