Google alerts: License Plate Scanner

On Google alerts today, I read about how in Baltimore, Maryland. Police are starting to use license plate scanners to read license plates to help solve crimes. For instance, if the killer’s car crossed paths with police at murder scenes, but didn’t fit descriptions of a suspect vehicle, the plate reader would have remembered. The license plate scanner is a box that sits on the back of the police car and scans license plates and the scanner will remember the license plate. I think this is a good idea and that all police cars should have the license plate scanner on their car so that way there might be less crime. The website I got this story from is: http://baltimore.cbslocal.com/2012/03/30/officials-say-new-technology-could-have-saved-lives-in-the-d-c-beltway-attacks/
