That's sure a good way to sell us tyranny. True, we do sometimes receive protection from governments that keep tabs on us about what we do, where we go, who we see. But if this sort of thing doesn't also give you the creeps, I am at a loss.

AAA Mid-Atlantic, an automobile service organization, is backing the legislation, pushing for a legal limit. "AAA believes that the retention period should be limited to the time necessary to compare it with local and national crime data banks," a press release states <http://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001aO1uD8Id2xDLA6l-XBrZMSOAAuceXnBIZMY6feP5sM7FsO2p2V72p8F81EkcDC7Cju9r0cMpJjtASQqOYfX5IiIVE08Z4aQwA1cW1VdGP5s1q-zfnMymW2Qwrhnof5T7sL1olA__s1teZui0zVjuGPzvhV4OpDOWRJrV5YnxzwoFIoPS3T_Uk6NCV0MRui6Ju4yfVnYnGflMp1KJ9BRhk3ndW4PATv-C-aEf1aAKCo26txUHXmwhJToG6viF_Mrk&c=GCUEWH1XNkjg4e4mgbpPHvWVhZ7y5Bzbiw1iCiruI_8wlZ4J-du0dA==&ch=xI3MLu4FWeeOX5bys4I4uRzHWAXC6ZVP5ZhgTFJA1tyX4Q0n-xoatw==> , adding that the limit should reflect the rather short amount of time required, which is "a matter of hours or days, not months or years." We don't advocate limits on this kind of data to protect criminals, but to reduce temptation to those folks in government who might abuse their positions for personal gain or bureaucratic mission creep. Governments tracking and recording our every move just isn't safe -- even if our safety is the professed goal. This is Common Sense. I'm Paul Jacob.

Burr was an American politician who served as third Vice President of the United States. He also killed Alexander Hamilton in a duel, and was charged and found not guilty of treason -- under the charge of attempted insurrection (nothing to do with the duel).
