they don't have that tech *yet* but as of this past monday they are getting sued by the aclu for license plate scanner tech

Quote:
The LAPD, the L.A. County Sheriff's Department and other law enforcement agencies in Southern California routinely scan millions of license plates via patrol-car-based devices that can track your whereabouts.
What do they do with the info? It's not entirely clear, but the record shows that cops have used such stored data to help piece together cases. Good right? Well, the American Civil Liberties Union wants to know more about the plate scanners that have been almost ubiquitous in SoCal:

The ACLU and the Electronic Frontier Foundation today announced the groups have jointly filed suit against the LAPD and the sheriff's department for allegedly failing to provide requested data under the California Public Records Act.
