This country always seems to lag behind Europe and Britian in technological advances. Like 2.2 Straight six said in the above post, "we have the same thing all over central london, its used to record your number/licence plate so you can't escape the £8~$16 daily charge to drive into central london." I have friends who are home builders, and home improvement contractors, and they are always telling me how advanced the Europeans and British are in how they build their homes, and such technologies as heating systems, appliances, and energy conservation. I know it is a neccesity there , and it will only take time for it to be so here. That license plate scanner kind of reminds me of the "face recognition" systems that are out there to weed out suspected terrorists, wanted individuals, etc.
