Navy database tracks civilians' parking tickets, fender-benders, raising fears of domestic spying

A parking ticket, traffic citation or involvement in a minor fender-bender are enough to get a person's name and other personal information logged into a massive, obscure federal database run by the U.S. military.

The Law Enforcement Information Exchange, or LinX, has already amassed 506.3 million law enforcement records ranging from criminal histories and arrest reports to field information cards filled out by cops on the beat even when no crime has occurred.

They are not spying, the are just gathering massive amounts of personal and private information about you. Someday it will be used to stop a terrorist attack. Of course, you might be the terrorist, and the crime might be owning a slingshot. But we will all be so much safer.

Well, it must be true if that is what we are told. Of course I also believe in Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, and social security.
