Posted by DevilC DC just purchased ALPR boxes for streetsweepers and garbage trucks.

I have seen this already in use... somewhere. I cant recall where, but it was a "bwuhhhhh????" moment.
When will local PD's start to incorporate ALPR tech. into existing camera systems? If you put ALPR into the red light and speed cameras we have in MD... you could have a log of someone's entire journey. You really don't need the giant cameras they use for dedicated ALPR trucks, Britain does it with their existing system
But of course none of this matters... I give it less than ten years before every car is required to have a GPS device on it. Speed, location, etc. The insurance companies have already put out the technology, it's just a matter of them lobbying it in. Mileage taxes too based on the data.
Also, what is the deal with RFID receivers that hang out over the highway (on their own pole no less). Truck tracking? I have seen them on I-84 in Connecticut but can't find a picture
