Thanks Obama!
As for systems to catch criminals, all in favour of that. A company providing the equipment for free in exchange for info on cars. What's the problem?

Of course, you can vote for a Republican and see how they deal with big business. Or pay more taxes so the police don't need to give the info away, pay more taxes to cover the costs of those who don't pay taxes. Whoops, you already have to do that.
