This is nothing new. LAPD started testing this kind of thing a few years ago. It makes sense... instead of cops manually typing in plate numbers, this does it for them, much more efficiently. It's just a logical progression of technology. Of course, widespread use of this system could also easily be used as the infrastructure to track a large number of people, and that's where the problem is. Every time you go near a police car, your location could be logged. Then the next step is to put these systems on street lights and such. Some cities are already doing that, but with facial recognition instead. Great for solving crimes, but pretty horrible if misused, and you know it would be with Bush in office.

Pretty sweet. I hope these become more popular.

I love comments like this from the description "What's the purpose for this? Mega income generation from catching everyone who has expired tags and or plates? ... (more) "

Yea you fucking retard, this is to take away your right to drive with expired tags or without insurance...

I've got expired tags.

This would also be great for the Amber Alert.
