NH E-ZPass Privacy Problems Update

New Hampshire E-ZPass stores user's private information with no privacy protections.

I wrote earlier about the New Hampshire E-ZPass System and its privacy issues here

About TWO MONTHS after submitting questions by filling out an online form, the ONLY method of contacting them publicized, I received a phone call back from a lady whose name was unintelligible, and who was NOT credible, on my voice mail.

Allegedly a court order is required to access the data E-ZPass stores - this I believe. She claims that E-ZPass does not store information about who passed through which tolls and when, i.e. who was where when. Well, this is not credible. E-ZPass is not a NH creation, and does store this information in other states. In fact, people have lost their jobs and suffered other adverse effects when EZ-Pass showed they were not where they claimed to be.

I have no reason to hide where I am and when, but the government also has no right to have a record of my whereabouts. E-Z Pass can in fact track you ANYWHERE - not just at tolls. Oh, and there's no way to turn it off. And at least in New Hampshire, they are unresponsive as hell!!

I didn't follow up with a return phone call.

If anyone would like to follow up, I've got names and phone numbers of the people in ultimate charge and will gladly share. Send me an email - no I'm not posting them, they have some right to privacy too!
