License plate tracking device

Automated License Plate Recognition System Gains Traction: "The system works by scanning every plate that comes in the path of the sensor. Every time it reads a plate, the computer inside the patrol car dings and both a picture of the actual plate as well as the plate number the computer reads appear on the screen. The plate number is then run through a database, which has highlighted plates that fall in the category of lost or stolen, and drivers who are wanted for a felony."

Comments:
We have these already in the UK as there is a more sinister side to this as seen on a recent documentary.

The device was pinging so often with offences the cops would ignore it till they saw a car *they* fanced pulling over, then the device gave them the reason.

They should pull everyone or no-one, not use it as a device for harrasment.
