Police said to be compiling secret database on movements of Israelis

The Israel Police has been compiling information on the movements of Israelis not suspected of any crime in a secret database that doesn’t appear to have any oversight, the Walla news site reports.

According to the report, the database includes footage of cars driving across the country that was filmed using “Hawk-Eye” smart cameras, which can identify license plates and determine whether the vehicle was stolen or if its owner’s driver’s is expired.

Quoting a police source, the news site says the video footage is saved in a database for at least six months and possibly years.
