Maybe I am the only one, but I thought it was hilarious...especially considered from a satirical context.<p>We should definitely raise the discussion about government surveillance and how much (or in my opinion how little) should and should not be allowed.  We should also discuss how much _private_ corporation spying should and should not be allowed (<i>cough</i> <i>cough</i> Google...partly why I find this is funny).<p>But this license plate reader car would exist with or without the crudely printed maps logo, let&#x27;s not pretend it&#x27;s supposed to be part of some &quot;elaborate&quot; disguise for some new form of government surveillance.  This would also imply Google spying on you is ok...which I don&#x27;t think it is.
