Privacy on the Internet

I think that the companies that use the Internet should have more strict and less confusing privacy contracts. For instance, Facebook's privacy contract has a lot of words in it so not very many people will read it and people won't realize what the privacy contract said until something happens to them. Facebook is not the only one with confusing and long privacy contracts, a lot of companies have them too. If people don't read the privacy contract before they join an organization or a website then they won't know if their privacy is kept private. I think privacy contracts should be short and to the point so that the privacy contracts on the Internet is easier to read and understand.

Google alerts: License Plate Scanner

On Google alerts today, I read about how in Baltimore, Maryland. Police are starting to use license plate scanners to read license plates to help solve crimes. For instance, if the killer’s car crossed paths with police at murder scenes, but didn’t fit descriptions of a suspect vehicle, the plate reader would have remembered. The license plate scanner is a box that sits on the back of the police car and scans license plates and the scanner will remember the license plate. I think this is a good idea and that all police cars should have the license plate scanner on their car so that way there might be less crime. The website I got this story from is: http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/03/30/officials-say-new-technology-could-have-saved-lives-in-the-d-c-beltway-attacks/
