MTA gives court toll-use data

Spurs privacy fears about Fast Lane

By Ross Kerber, Globe Staff, 8/13/2001

The Massachusetts Turnpike Authority said it has turned over motorist
Fast Lane records to criminal prosecutors under a recent court order,
marking the first time the tollbooth technology has been used for
law-enforcement surveillance in the state.

The disclosure, by an MTA spokesman on Friday, underscores privacy
concerns related to the automatic toll-collection system, an area the MTA
has done little to address since Fast Lane was installed in 1998.
