Very powerful and very Big Brother. Shows you just how little you can get away with. I'm sure it won't make into the US, ACLU will say it somehow infringes on citizens rights.

Damn, I'm impressed. I'd rather have the police looking for stuff like this than waisting hours parked issuing speeding tickets, this system goes after the "criminals" vs the "traffic violators"

Very interesting. Not too scary for law abiding individuals but seems like a lot of cost per cruiser for its limited usefulness. Additionally, it would probably require another national database.

Interesting, but agree with NECruiser that it is a little too "Big Brother" for my taste.

We have that system in California...it does not require a new database. It is deployed regularly and works very well.

In addition, ruebarb, you would be surprised on how many criminals are caught during "routine" traffic violation stops.

Um. No. No they won't. It's perfectly legal, and it infringes on no one's rights.

The ACLU doesn't see it as a problem:

The idea of cameras monitoring every highway, boulevard, and alley might strike some Americans as Orwellian. But even the American Civil Liberties Union acknowledges that the public has no right to license plate privacy on public streets. After all, cops can enter plate numbers by hand, so why not by camera? "There's absolutely no bar on collecting plates in public," says Barry Steinhardt, director of the ACLU's technology and liberty program. "There haven't been any legal challenges, because it's not illegal."

Sometimes it amazes me how little people understand what the ACLU actually is in favor of and what they're actually against.
