FSP 1.1: EZ pass vs privacy

EZ pass vs privacy

There should be a 'donate my date' pledge,
like an organ donor pledge. Upon your death,
your data could then be used, for example, to
investigate our death.

E-ZPass Card an Investigative Tool
Being used in probe of slaying of Baltimore prosecutor in Pa.
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

December 12, 2003

Baltimore - When Assistant U.S. Attorney Jonathan Luna's sedan cruised through
a toll booth the night he was killed, his E-ZPass card automatically billed him.
More importantly, it left an electronic record of his travels for police investigating
the crime.

Millions of drivers now use electronic toll systems to pay for tolls without digging
out cash, and investigators are increasingly using the electronic record they
create as a possible crime fighting tool.

The New York Thruway System has received 128 subpoenas from investigators
since 1998, and has turned over records in response to 61 of them, said Terry
O'Brien, a spokesman for the thruway system.

The thruway system has issued electronic cards for use in 5.1 million vehicles,
so the number of records subpoenaed is a small percentage. But experts predict
the records will increasingly find their way into both criminal and civil cases.

In Illinois, a man reviewed his wife's electronic toll records during a custody
dispute, and divorce attorneys say they see potential for such records in the
future.

"Whereabouts can be very important, especially in a custody case where
somebody says, 'I'm always around. I can take care of this child,'" said Barbara
Ellen Handschu, a New York divorce attorney.

New York City officials last month transferred 30 detectives out of the narcotics
bureau for allegedly claiming false overtime. They were discovered passing
through E-ZPass lanes miles from where they were supposed to be working.

The key to the E-ZPass system - which operates from Massachusetts to West
Virginia and is expanding to Maine and New Hampshire - is the distinct radio
signal emitted by each card. Toll receivers detect the signal and bill the
corresponding account.

Similar regional systems are in use around the country.

In the Luna case, electronic toll records show the 38-year-old took a roundabout
route from Maryland to the spot in Lancaster County, Pa., where his body was
found last week, investigators said. Authorities fanned out across the region,
interviewing gas station attendants and hotel clerks.

An FBI spokesman in Baltimore would not comment on the bureau's use of
E-ZPass records in general, citing the ongoing investigation of the Luna case.
Investigators subpoenaed toll records from the Pennsylvania Turnpike
Commission, the commission said.

While that request was specific, investigators in Massachusetts have occasionally
asked highway authorities for general data. For instance: Did any blue Ford
pickup trucks pass through Exit 35 Friday night? Doug Hanchett, a spokesman
for the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, said officials have fought to quash
subpoenas it feels are inappropriate. Even with a slight increase this year,
however, he said the agency only received about six subpoenas in 2002.

"We take it pretty seriously," Hanchett said.

Other uses beyond crime fighting have been found for electronic toll systems.

New York E-ZPass subscribers can instantly pay for parking at JFK and
LaGuardia airports and for food in the drive-through lanes of two McDonald's
restaurants in Suffolk County.
