New York City is contemplating a camera system in NYC. This will of course do much the same thing. There is even talk of automated barriers that can be turned on at the flick of a switch to stop criminals from getting away which might be able to impede high speed chases.

There is nothing illegal about keeping track of cars in a city. If you are not on private property you have no right to complain. It might make it extremely easy to give out parking tickets and to arrest and find criminals.

What I see next is a way to track all E-mail by a code embedded in the processor of every computer.

Well, legal or illegal is one way of looking at it I guess, but if the taxpayers are paying for it then the taxpayers should get to vote on it.

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."

Yeah, you can flush your freedoms down the drain.......

LA isn't the only place toying with machine vision-based traffic enforcement. Similar trial programs are under way elsewhere in California, as well as at city and state levels in Florida, Connecticut, New York, Ohio, Alabama, and Arizona. In Miami, as in LA, the systems are helping beat cops find hot cars. On Alabama's highways, stationary cameras are being paired with radar systems that automatically write speeding tickets as violators zip by. And in Sacramento, readers have tripled parking violation revenue by letting officers quickly spot autos with outstanding unpaid tickets (which they then boot).

Europe provides a glimpse of what even bigger deployments can do. In France, 1,000 mobile and stationary plate-reading cameras have doubled speeding ticket revenue and halved speeding-related deaths in just two years. In the UK, 200 cameras policing London's Downtown Congestion Charge Zone generated 13,000 arrests in one year. British law enforcement loves the technology so much that the government has plans for a $43 million campaign to install enough cameras to monitor every motorist on the country's highways, major roads, and bigger intersections, digitally reading some 35 million plates per day. This could catch not just every stolen car but nearly every moving violation as it occurs.

tripled parking violation revenue; doubled speeding ticket revenue... Revenue and $$$ are the keywords here. More money more camera's....

Everything is going to be robotic ... This artical was published in '05 I can just imagine what newer tech and better camera's can pick up these days. Tho, I have mixed feelings about it. Are we going to include face recognition next? Well just mount camera's on all major intersections and everyone will be tracked ... And if you are suspected of committing some sort of crime they will know when you went to the gun store or when you went to the landfill to dump the body. Thats after they got you IP address from google that told them you've been running searches on how to kill people or dispose of the body.

Big Brother is here like no tomorrow. Orwell never thought about hooking the camera's up to computers that would relay the data over a network to populate where you have been ... your speed, your direction, time, etc...etc... into a big data base. He also, didn't think of a huge wireless network that can track your cell phone ... Or even better yet, turn on your cell phones microphone and listen in your conversations or even track your computer at home while your searching through the biggest library on earth, all your thoughts and ideas are being traced through a huge network right back to you via IP address.

It's a bit scary I'll say. It's worse now then it ever was.... This is just the beginning. Just think what they are gonna do with RFID! Wait till they start putting the chips in all the bills (currency) that can be tracked right back to the owner to tell them not only who spent it but where it was spent, what was it spent on, what time it was spent and how much that person is spending...etc...etc....

Good Luck!

Oh, and here is a link to that artical it's pretty interesting...

http://www.wired.com/wired/arc...&topic=lapd&topic_set=

I hate to sound negative about your utopian dream state.....but....

FFS, how is it constitutional for me to receive a violation on my record because a CAMERA takes a picture of MY LICENSE and I AM NOT VERIFIED AS BEING THE DRIVER?

When one of these tickets is written, it goes directly to the registered owner of the vehicle. Why should I be punished by having it go on my record when it could have been anyone driving?

If they truly want to institute this unconstitutional system (innocent until proven guilty...remember...if they can't prove that I was the driver then I am not guilty) then they need to abolish all driving records and point systems that go along with them.

Let the camera people who are taking as much as $73 per violation and in some instances mandating that yellow lights be shortened to meet their quota of 10 violations per day fight it out with the insurance people who will not be able to raise rates because they can't claim anyone a higher risk anymore.

Edit: Reread your post and caught the actual tone of what you were saying the second time. My post is only in response to the argument about how wonderful it is in catching car thieves and other violators.

What about changing rooms? Hell, lets have the government put cameras inside our cars, or even our houses!

My Dream? These are not my words ... This was quoted out of an artical. I guess your 4 stop light corn cow pasture state you live in must not have any red light cameras since if it did you'd know it takes a picture of the driver and the plate. Also, if you read my post the next thing is face recognition it's not far from around the corner. Technology is already in place and it is working well.

Click on the link and read the entire artical before flaming me about it....

The thing is that the right to drive is not a right, its a priviledge. So you have no privacy of travel once you enter the road.

And like it was already pointed out, this will increase revenue for states that adopt it. A good thing when you consider the law breakers and lost vehicles, quite possibly Alzheimer patients, will be found by this system.

And lastly I've met some rocket scientist computer guys that screw up backup tapes. What is going to happen to the data when law enforcement types try to maintain it?

Nobody has the "right" to telephone access, but they can't just tap your phone without a good reason? It's one thing to put a camera up in a public area, but it's another when they start using that camera to track private citizens via your license plate number.

I guess the term "private citizen" is losing it's meaning?

If you haven't read the book its worth the time. Basically a supercity where cameras are everywhere, even in the bedroom. After all they are there to protect you!

Wonder if the folks that scream "If you have nothing to hide" will continue that mantra rthe way things are going?

I don't own the outside of my car? Then why do I have to pay for insurance? It's generally the outside of cars that hit other people, not the part that I own.
I can agree that the data should not be retained permanently - however, at what point does it get discarded.

If the locating of a vehilce can assist in a homicide (which may have no statute of limitations), should the information have been destroyed.

If the license of a vehicle is recorded during a kidnapping and the vehicle has been tracked/idetnified in a certain area previously, would it help to be able to target that area first to locate the vehicle/perp/victim?

People complain that the government destroys info that that is felt to no longer be applicable (from the destroyer's POV), yet from the complainer's POV, it may still be valuable.
I argue that they never should have collected the information in the first place. The best reason for this is the reason that everyone here claims as a benefit - ticketing for every moving violation. If no one is on the road at 3 a.m. and I'm shifting around in my car and I momentarily drift across the lane line, I get a ticket. If I am walking across the street in my neighborhood on a dead end road and no cars are coming, I'm jay walking. Would any cop give me a ticket for these things? I don't think so. An automated system bereft of any human factors, on the other hand, would automatically assign me a court date and a hefty fine.

So car thieves will start switching license plates on the cars that they steal. A friend I work with had the license plates on her car changed and she didn't even notice for who knows how long.

Also, we've all heard stories about how some cop used their database to go after someone for political reasons. Just wait until someone gets blackmailed for going to strip club.

The revenue goes to the local/state governments. this has nothing to do with the Federal government

They aren't tracking cars, they are tracking PEOPLE. And last time I checked, that seems like a pretty major invasion of privacy to me. This isn't Russia, it's not about MY right, it's about what rights the police have to investigate me when I've done nothing wrong.

You supporters of this device, why don't you just admit you want an authoritarian country already.

There is no reason to be recording our movements/locations while driving, unless there is a reason to think we've done something wrong.

Yep.

The first step to sanity on this subject is to admit that, for the most part and particularly in the early stages, there's not much to fear unless you're a criminal. The real problem is the power that this gives to those that would abuse it.

Look at the many signs that our police forces are becoming politicized. It was the same thing in the early 30s in Germany. The SD/SS are on their way here, have no doubt in your mind. Remember the 'Free Speech Zones' enforced at the RNC in '04, they arrested/detained people who were not committing any crime, and in full violation of the protections supposedly guaranteed by our constitution.

Have no doubt in your mind that almost all police officers are good people, who want good things for themselves and their community. But also realize that they are servants to their masters, which are not the citizenry at large, but the framework of commands and policies handed down by the politicians.

More likely than not, there will come a time when these kinds of technologies are used to locate, detain, or even exterminate individuals whose only crime is being politically undesirable to the tyrants that believe in the supremacy of the state over the sovereignty of the individual.

Stop making sense.

Supposed "Security Camera" captured the bridge collapse yesterday.

It will be handy for investigation of why so many people let that bridge stay in service being so obviously deficient.

The camera captured the cement bases moving.

That should never ever happen.

Quite frankly this capability was built into license plates for my state three years ago. They just haven't used it.

The ability to track moving cars at high speed is already here.

Automatic License Plate Recognition
The Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology installed in police cars ?reads? vehicle plates as they enter the view of a vehicle-mounted or roadside infrared camera, and checks them against a database for nearly instantaneous identification. The system runs continuously, automatically capturing images of license plates with a camera that works in nearly every lighting condition.

Overview
Enhance your officers? safety and productivity while maximizing your department?s revenue with Motorola?s Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR). ALPR uses infrared cameras to automatically and continuously read vehicle license plates. It then checks the plates against an installed database for rapid identity verification. Your officers are free to focus on other police work knowing that they will be alerted only when a ?hit? occurs.



Automatic, Fast and Accurate

Automatically locate and match vehicle plates against wanted lists
Conduct surveillance in any environmental setting, under varying light conditions
Provides 130 mph relative capture speed with 90% accuracy
New Back Office System Server (BOSS) Software
Database formatting including ability to customize PAGIS screens and alarms based on system ?hits?
Import of national and regional databases
Ability to map all locations related to a single license plate to track movements
Ability to cross reference perpetrator ID number (driver?s license, social security, etc.) with license plate database
Wireless database updates with AirMobile Integration
Update hot list database wirelessly with AirMobile over an 802.11 or MESH network
No manual intervention is needed ? when a vehicle drives into a hotspot the list is updated
Benefits
With Motorola?s Automatic License Plate Recognition, safety and productivity go hand in hand. While your officers are busy focusing on the demands of being in the field, ALPR is automatically checking license plates to alert them to potential felons, or other wants or warrants for various violations. Officers will know when to call for back up, and they are more easily able to identify parking scofflaws, stolen vehicles, license violations, etc.

Increase Situational Awareness

Officers are alerted if they are dealing with an armed felon
They know when to call for back up
When they approach a vehicle, officers know who and what to expect
A Force Multiplier

<<<Automatically matches vehicle plates against wanted lists
Facilitates Amber Alert and Be-On-The-Lookout tracking
Identifies other wants and warrants
Generate Additional Revenue
Enables parking ticket enforcement
Increases funds from collection of delinquent violations
Helps recover money from drug interdiction
Identifies stolen or wanted vehicles


Details
ALPR offers programming flexibility, reliability in varied conditions and situations, and the speed and accuracy that your officers demand in their daily work.

ALPR boasts a 90% accuracy rate and 130 mph relative capture speed.
In addition to NCIC databases, the ALPR database can be programmed to include state and local wants and warrants for various violations. Officers also can enter plate numbers into the system for Amber Alerts or other immediate alerts.
ALPR allows officers to conduct surveillance even under varied lighting and weather conditions.
ALPR uses ruggedized, infrared cameras that connect to leading-edge optical character recognition (OCR) technology software.
AirMobile integration provides automatic wireless database updates over an 802.11 or MESH network.
Back Office System Software (BOSS) enables formatting of the database with customized PAGIS screens and alarms based in system ?hits.?
National and regional databases can be imported through BOSS.
BOSS facilitates cross-referencing of perpetrator?s ID numbers (driver?s license, social security number, etc) with the license plate database.
BOSS also enables officers to map the location and track the movement of a single license plate.

AirMobile integration provides automatic wireless database updates over an 802.11 or MESH network.
Back Office System Software (BOSS) enables formatting of the database with customized PAGIS screens and alarms based in system ?hits.?
National and regional databases can be imported through BOSS.
BOSS facilitates cross-referencing of perpetrator?s ID numbers (driver?s license, social security number, etc) with the license plate database.
BOSS also enables officers to map the location and track the movement of a single license plate.

We already know this. Where is the links to show it also contacts the three credit agencies, launches investigations, and looks at travel records like you claim?

Troll.

What do you think those databases are - Disneyworld games? :confused:

License plates should be protested if they fear prosecution so much. Oh, yeah, its lawbreakers that oppose this one. If people actually think they will track the movements among the general population then I've got a bridge to sell. These scans are of parked cars, not moving ones.

Quite frankly this capability was built into license plates for my state three years ago. They just haven't used it.

The ability to track moving cars at high speed is already here.

Automatic License Plate Recognition
The Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology installed in police cars ?reads? vehicle plates as they enter the view of a vehicle-mounted or roadside infrared camera, and checks them against a database for nearly instantaneous identification. The system runs continuously, automatically capturing images of license plates with a camera that works in nearly every lighting condition.

Overview
Enhance your officers? safety and productivity while maximizing your department?s revenue with Motorola?s Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR). ALPR uses infrared cameras to automatically and continuously read vehicle license plates. It then checks the plates against an installed database for rapid identity verification. Your officers are free to focus on other police work knowing that they will be alerted only when a ?hit? occurs.



Automatic, Fast and Accurate

Automatically locate and match vehicle plates against wanted lists
Conduct surveillance in any environmental setting, under varying light conditions
Provides 130 mph relative capture speed with 90% accuracy
New Back Office System Server (BOSS) Software
Database formatting including ability to customize PAGIS screens and alarms based on system ?hits?
Import of national and regional databases
Ability to map all locations related to a single license plate to track movements
Ability to cross reference perpetrator ID number (driver?s license, social security, etc.) with license plate database
Wireless database updates with AirMobile Integration

Benefits
With Motorola?s Automatic License Plate Recognition, safety and productivity go hand in hand. While your officers are busy focusing on the demands of being in the field, ALPR is automatically checking license plates to alert them to potential felons, or other wants or warrants for various violations. Officers will know when to call for back up, and they are more easily able to identify parking scofflaws, stolen vehicles, license violations, etc.
