Chris Christie shows abuse of ez-pass and metadata in a single speech

And what type of human being he is, effectively making it impossible for him to be president.

(I honestly don't know if I'd pick him or Obama, but Obama can't run again)

Techdirt, as usual has a great article

So here's the lead up, from Bill Baroni -

"Respectfully, Senator, you only started paying tolls recently," [Port Authority Deputy Chief Bill] Baroni said, according to a transcript of the exchange. "In fact, I have a copy of your free E-ZPass," he continued, holding up a physical copy of the toll pass Lautenberg had received as a benefit from his tenure as a Port Authority commissioner. "You took 284 trips for free in the last 2 years you had a pass."

Chris Christie abusing E-ZPass and quotes him, saying about a rival:

At a press conference, he alleged that the senator didn't "pay for parking at Port Authority facilities" and said Lautenberg went "through the tunnel to New York three or four times a week in 2005 and 2006."

I find it interesting, too, by the way, in 2005 and 2006, that he went over the Hudson River 284 times. Where was he going?... I think he needs to answer that. 'Cause he's supposed to be the senator from New Jersey. So what's he doing going over the bridge or through the tunnel to New York three or four times a week for 2005 and 2006?... Did he ever spend any time in New Jersey?

Did you think:

1.  E-ZPass data was confidential?  Nope
2. That the government reading E-ZPass  data needed a warrant?  Nope
3. That Metadata was harmless?  Nope
4. That Government thinks Metadata can't be abused? Nope
5. That Chris Christie is above anything slimy or scummy? Data is still out

Oh they do have a link to the pdf of NJ committee meeting that includes testimony about bridgegate and some details about traffic readers in the Fort Lee area, and I think how many E-ZPass details they get.
