E-Z Pass is coming to the Brooklyn Bridge after all—just not as part of any East River crossing toll plan. City officials announced that E-Z Pass transponders will be installed on the bridge, as well as several other spots throughout the streets of lower Manhattan below Canal Street in order to monitor the flow of traffic and come up with potential ways to ease congestion in that part of town. The Lower Manhattan Construction Command Center will be in charge of the project, which they emphasize will not be able to detect either license plate numbers or the drivers inside the vehicles. An LMCCC spokeswoman says that the routes and travel times of lower Manhattan motorists they'll be collecting will simply allow the agency to know where to dispatch traffic agents to deal with problems.

It's the same media that NEVER mentioned Muslims' hatred of Israel as a possible motive for 9/11.

Bullshit. If they can collect it for the CIA/NSA/FBI, they will collect it. There is no objecting to a warrant.
its always the same lies...just wait these same machines will be used to charge tolls on people getting around in thier own city. Wheres the free press thats supposed to protect us from the corrupt politicians?
By "free press" did you mean something other than the news media that reported this?
I mean the free press that questions why they are using ezpass here instead of the other ways the city monitors traffic all of over the city? Why?
A free press asks questions and calls bullshit...this isn't a free press, this is a summary and link to a press release.
if one just keeps it in the anti static bag it came in would it still transmit rf data? I see many drivers with that baggie.
time for me to get a boat.
The anti-static bag blocks the RFID chip from transmitting a response to the query from the EZ-Pass transponder. The bag acts as a Faraday Cage (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faraday_cage).
This will not read license plates because they have other surveillance cameras that do that already at the Brooklyn Bridge as they do in the entire midtown area and all entry points of Manhattan.
Just wait for Obama's healthcare initiative, your next checkup will include the insertion of a chip...
If my idea of surgically-implanting E-Z Pass Monitors into NY'ers azzholes catches on, I'll soon be a millionaire.
They've had these ezpass readers on long island for about a year now. Nys dot uses the information to tell drivers if there are delays ahead and how long (in minutes)it will take to get to major interchanges. The readers worked so well that they had to put a cap on the minutes per mile. The signs used to report estimated travel times faster than the 55mph speed limit.
Heres an idea, if you got a problem with this dont get an ezpass or put the tag in that bag!!!
City Hall and State Ding Dongs, Knowing that there is traffic coming into Manhattan is not the important thing to know. Big deal. You counted the the number of vehicles and recorded the times. What about finding out why vehicles are coming into the city and gathering more useful data? Instead you'll here it from the public after you initiate criminal congestion taxing and tolls.
