All your license plates are belong to us: System developed that scans plates on the fly

Bad guys beware, there is new technology that will hunt you down and have you singing the jailhouse blues faster than ever before. Harnessing the
power of computers, the ALPR (Automatic License Plate Recognition System) allows police to be far more efficient, by no longer relying on just their
sharp set of human eyes to spot suspect vehicles.
There are three cameras fitted to a police vehicle -- marked or unmarked. In the video after the jump, the vehicle is unmarked, and by just driving
down the road, every plate from oncoming traffic, and cars on the side of the road (or the next lane), is logged and analyzed. There's also a
side-facing camera which comes into play when cruising parking lots. The system can handle up to 3,000 plates an hour, and by making it a passive
activity, it turns nabbing bad guys into something akin to playing the lottery.
The system can be anywhere and everywhere, from stationary systems to car-mounted mobile units, there is no hiding from the long arm of the law. All
an officer needs to do is drive around. With the system keeping an ever-vigilant watch on all the plates and comparing them with a database of suspect
plate numbers, police time is freed up, so they can go about protecting and serving. Heck, while on their way to another call, they may just get lucky
and pass a vehicle that "hits", turning it into a bonus score for the day.
If I fail math, there goes my chance at a good job and a happy life full of hard work.

You're all gonna think I'm a nut for saying this, but in some way, shape or form, technology is going to ruin us for good.
And yes, I realize the irony in posting a statement like that on the internet.

Man I have no idea what to say. It's good and bad.
Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.
