Back a few years our state went to a plate that had a bar code on it. No raised letters just a flat panel. Asked a law enforcement friend about reading the plate at night. Said they had that covered with a wink! Seems the camera in the patrol car does it.

They've been around for a while, but I didn't know they were storing that data.

I've been busted twice by the cameras. Even so, I think it is a great idea. I wish I had been the first to think of it. Could have made a lot of money.

They've been storing the data for many years as well. Have they not? When was the last time you got your liscence renewed or registered a vehicle without an SS number, address, phone number, review of your driving record...........etc.,etc.

Nada. They're optical scanners like the grocery store checkout. Hi def CC digital camera mounted on Smokey's dashboard reads it into the onboard 'puter which searches the DMV database.

I get that, but it's a LOT different from tracking my every move.

Can they tell how fast we are going too? That would be a bummer.

Why do you care? Why would they track you?
