#3  In Connecticut, registered motor vehicles are classed as 'property' and are taxed.

#2  excuse me, but aren't property taxes imposed on the property? This sounds like big brother when imposed for taxes and personal levees. If they want to check on vehicle fees/infractions/crimes, no problem, but a man's car is usually his ability to get to work. I don't like it

#1  Interesting…from the article:

“In a four-hour test run in the spring, tax collectors identified 25 cars that collectively owned $10,000 in taxes. A two-hour test by the police turned up 11 cars with stolen license plates and two stolen cars. Two people were arrested.”

Such technology could have a significant impact on crime. Much as repairing broken windows and removing graffiti reduces major crime.
