Sweet. I'm sure also that when the computer transmits your license plate info, and matches it to the registered owner, it also sends the coordinates of where the vehicle is, creating a virtual database of everyones location. I always wanted a big brother. Now I guess I have one.

The Sacramento Police Department will receive an award Wednesday for its high-tech license plate reader system during a ceremony recognizing outstanding accomplishments within the public sector's information technology community.
The department will receive the "most innovative use of technology" award by The Center for Digital Technology during the Best of California award ceremony for its Mobile Automated License Plate Reader, police spokesman Sgt. Matt Young stated in a news release.
The system allows a computer to read license plates in real time and compares it with information on stolen and wanted vehicles in a police database, Young said.
Patrol cars outfitted with the license plate reader are equipped with three external camera systems, which constantly scan license plate images during routine patrols. The images are then transmitted to a computer database and processed. The system notifies the officer if a match is made.
During a typical patrol shift, the system will read about 3,000 license plates, he said.
Sacramento police have been testing and developing the technology over the past three years, and it has proven beneficial for officers, Young said.
