You shall not pass!

Into the town of Tiburon, CA in your car without being photographed.

Your presence has been noted.

The posh and picturesque town that juts into San Francisco Bay is poised to do something unprecedented: use cameras to record the license plate number of every vehicle that crosses city limits.

Some residents describe the plan as a commonsense way to thwart thieves, most of whom come from out of town. Others see an electronic border gate and worry that the project will only reinforce Tiburon’s image of exclusivity and snootiness.

“I personally don’t see too much harm in it, because I have nothing to hide,” commodities broker Paul Lambert, 64, said after a trip to Boardwalk Market in downtown Tiburon on a recent afternoon.

Personally, I’m warming to the belief that anyone who publicly states that they have nothing to hide should have every aspect of their 4th Amendment rights violated just to double check.

Stupidity should be painful, after all.

    Since when does a burglar use a car with his name on the registration?

    It’s either a beater bought at the curb with tags that are still live, or it’s stolen.

    Dumbasses.
