each ez-link is tied to an NRIC number. i remember a case where there was a case where the suspect use ez-link card for mode of "public" transport and the police managed to use the ez-link card stored location to use against the suspect as to the suspect was at the vicinity of crime. hence the person using bus and train as mode of transport, technically information can be used against the individual.
the issue is are there any laws currently to protect the privacy of individuals here in singapore?
taking it forward to 2018 where the police will be using speed cameras to detect if a vehicle is travelling too fast. (read article here) likewise, instead of using 2 cameras to calculate the time travel between the fixed positions of cameras to determine the speed, what is stopping the police (government) from using satellite to calculate the speed between 2 points.
lots of information can be stored based on these satellites and they can be cross-reference to any other database that is already in place.
