Scanner Helps Ind. Police Find Stolen Cars

INDIANAPOLIS -- Lawrence police officers are using a new scanning
device that can quickly identify stolen cars. The system has helped
the department recover 21 stolen cars in seven weeks. It uses two
cameras attached to a squad car that scans license plates and
compares them in less than a second to a nationwide FBI database of
reported stolen vehicles.
This might not be a bad idea, although the ominous potentials are evident.
