San Diego is experimenting with a machine that automatically scans a license plate and checks it against a data base of stolen cars. Detective le Ribeus stated in an interview that the eqipment picks up nearly every license plate it passes. The technology replaces the earlier method which required that an Officer write down and call in a suspicious license plate before recovering the car or inconveniencing the driver.

The technology is currently only used to run license plates against a list of stolen cars, it doesn’t take much to swee the possibility of running licenses against other data bases, cars without insurance, drivers with suspended licenses, how about just tracking citizens on the road?
