This program and hardware are being used to assess road conditions, but there is some talk of using it to register speeds and ticket accordingly. Is it just me or are people actively looking for ways to Big Brother each other?

Pretty petty reasoning to give away privacy.

All of these accusations about the big brother, and the ticketing speeding motorists are totally untrue. The ACLU has even said that this does not infringe on privacy acts.
The data that the DOT's receive is completly anonymous . Sprint is the only one within this circle that knows who you are. The data that the DOT's and AirSage receives is a random, but will stay with the motorist until they are out of the area that the information is being taken in. For example say I have a sprint cell phone and my number is 555-789-1234, airsage could get something like 9rtd1lsg. There would be no way for anyone to directly tie this number with a particular person.
