New Tracking Frontier: Your License Plates
http://j.mp/RtBXph (WSJ)
"For more than two years, the police in San Leandro, Calif.,
photographed Mike Katz-Lacabe's Toyota Tercel almost weekly. They have
shots of it cruising along Estudillo Avenue near the library, parked
at his friend's house and near a coffee shop he likes. In one case,
they snapped a photo of him and his two daughters getting out of a car
in his driveway. Mr. Katz-Lacabe isn't charged with, or suspected of,
any crime. Local police are tracking his vehicle automatically, using
cameras mounted on a patrol car that record every nearby
vehicle-license plate, time and location."
