This UK newspaper is reporting that the UK government has plans to put a computerised spy in every car. This "spy" will record every single time a motorist goes slightly over the speed limit, into a bus lane, or stops on a yellow line. It will report this information to roadside sensors and you will soon receive a fine in the mail."
