I do have a problem. First it's reading the license tags of innocent citizens and running them without probable cause. What is the justification for that? If I am driving my car legally and not breaking any laws why would my tag be run? I vote a big old NO on this.

I don't think they need probable cause to run a license plate. They're on the outside of the vehicle for that very reason. It's not like they're actually pulling you over. THEN, they require probable cause.

Having said that, I know where you're coming from.

I understand what your concerns are but, an officer can run your tags any time he wants to. In fact, he will run your tags before he even pulls you over......every time.

I believe they run the tags of any vehicle they feel like, now. This technology is just a matter of efficiency.

It would also seem that this technology is more 'random' than the police officer picking what plates to run.

It is, however, no different than the face recognition technology that is already in place, and legal, and also raises the same concerns.
