City to Photograph, Check Every Vehicle License Plate for Violations
Nov 20, 2009, News Report
Found in: Transportation and Infrastructure
License plate scanners, sometimes deployed in patrol cars (pictured) will be used in Tiburon, Calif., to check the plates of every car entering or leaving the city.
Tiburon, a small upscale city on a peninsula near San Francisco, will photograph the license plates of every vehicle entering and leaving, according to an article in today's San Francisco Chronicle. The license plate photos will be matched with a database of stolen cars and owners with violations or warrants. If a crime occurs in the tiny community, then vehicle plates can be used to come up with suspects. Such systems have ordinarily been mounted in patrol cars to automatically check vehicle license plates of parked or moving vehicles. A camera vendor has not yet been selected according to the article. Click to view video of how license plate cameras work.

I commend them in this effort. Anything to help prevent future crimes, and get those who think they don't have to own up to their infractions.
With more government-in-our-lives crap like this, it looks like America is becoming the new Soviet Union.
