Missouri tracks scofflaws via pizza-delivery databases (Click to see video)

It's dinnertime, and you're hungry and tired, so you pick up the phone and order your favorite pizza. But you might have just landed yourself a lot more than pepperoni and cheese.

If you owe fines or fees to the courts, that phone call may have provided the link the state needed to track you down and make you pay.

That's one of the strategies of firms such as a company being hired by the Missouri Office of State Courts Administrator to handle its fine and debt collections.

They are invading our privacy. Why do pizza places get to know my personal information. I don't want anyone having open access to my info. Is this what you want. This will become possible once they have to scan our IDs for any purchases. Here is your police state with all of us reporting on one another. Sounds like the red scare. Who did that one help?
