GRNC Alert 07-22-14: Big Brother Coming to NC?

 

Bill authorizing license plate readers prone to abuse…
 

How would you like to worry that your license plate may be scanned at the next gun show and this information stored in searchable form for potential misuse by over-reaching bureaucrats in the future?

This type of Fourth Amendment nightmare is already a reality in other states and will become possible in North Carolina if HB 348 becomes law.

Although it has been amended to include safeguards limiting access and the length of time information can be stored, the potential for abuse outweighs potential benefits in-terms of assisting law enforcement in stopping crime. In other states, this type of information has rarely resulted in much more than ticketing those with expired registrations and emissions inspections.

Thankfully, this anti-freedom legislation has been relegated to the Senate Rules Committee where bad bills often go to die. We need to help make sure HB 348 meets this well-deserved demise.

 

IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUIRED!
 

  • Email members of the Senate Rules Committee. Tell them to let HB 348 die.

Suggested Subject: “No Big Brother in NC, No HB 348

Dear Senate Rules Committee Member:


The ever expanding encroachment of government surveillance upon the Fourth Amendment rights of citizens is something that every American should be concerned about.


The fact this type of monitoring is being proposed for North Carolina via HB 348 (Public Safety Technology/State ROW) is a sobering reminder that even in our freedom-loving state we are not immune to this type of overreach.


In other states where similar unconstitutional monitoring of citizens has been implemented little value in-terms of assisting law-enforcement has been realized, while abuses have already been documented.


I understand that this bill has been assigned to your committee for consideration. I urge you to protect the freedom of your constituents by not moving this legislation for further consideration.


Sincerely,
