I would like to know 3 things that license plate cameras can do that a police officer can't. From the perspective of a citizen who wants to live in a free and safe society, but also understands the importance of personal privacy. I'll start:

- Can locate the plate of a stolen car more rapidly than relying on human observers by reading and querying all plates

- Remember EVERY license plate - Take a photographic record of the car belonging to the license plate - Remember where and when it saw that license plate every time. - Inform every major law enforcement and intelligence agency of the car's whereabouts in real time. - Collate that data between LP cams scattered throughout the state.

- Can capture pictures of drivers' funny faces and send them a "Your year on the road" compilation each year.

- Can share and combine data from hundreds of local jurisdictions to track a vehicle comprehensively.
