Proactive policing? No thanks.
We already have these things in NY and have for some time. I find it very intrusive. The good news is that they put out so much Ka radar that you can detect them like 5 blocks away with a decent radar detector.

There is a great potential for abuse here. I live in a mandatory insurance state. I got a notice in the mail that said the insurance was about to run out so I started looking around for the best rate. I went with a policy from a different company than the one I was with before and paid the annual premium up front. (I actually had disposable income then)
When the first policy ran out the old company called up the RMV and had them pull the registration even though I was covered by the new policy.
I got stopped while driving home from work about a month later. The car was towed(Even though it was within sight of my house). The plates were confiscated and I had to lose a day of work so I could go to court over a clerical error.
Just think what would happen if someone that held a grudge got into the database of "bad" plates.
