Cheatery.

For real?  For real real???

"Sheriff testing high-speed plate scanner"

"Deputy Dean Williams generally runs about 20 license plates each day as he patrols throughout the city. In about 20 minutes Tuesday, he ran 130 plates. Credit new technology installed on the light bar of his patrol car. "

"The two cameras mounted on each car can run an estimated 5,000 plates per shift, said Steve Adair, of Lehr Auto Electric. A four-camera system on a vehicle, which is what Furlong is considering, could run 10,000 plates a shift, he said."

Holy fucking cheaters!  I'm not a proponent of crime whatsoever, but I do feel the sense of the chase, the... earning of a ticket, if you will to be how things oughta go.  No fancy-lazy-cop-cheating machine should ever be allowed, much less footed by the taxpayers who will not only fund the sneaky private eye contraption, but be subject to it's fines.  How dumb are we?

Can't we go back to earning our tickets by acting a fool and drawing attention to ourselves.  Whatever happened to the novel idea of getting caught red handed by those hired to do their jobs.  I'm sure the police are filling their pants with the overload of power.  FOUR cameras per cop car?  What the what???  Will there be room in the vehicle for the actual cop? 

Not fair.  Total cheatery.
