PHILADELPHIA — Authorities said license plate readers are coming to four Philadelphia-area bridges to help crime fighting efforts.

The Delaware River Port Authority Board in January moved to enter a 10-year agreement with the New Jersey Department of Law and Public Safety, the Division of the New Jersey State Police, for the installation of automated license plate readers to be installed on the Ben Franklin, Walt Whitman, Commodore Barry, and Betsy Ross bridges.

Port authority officials told Patch the technology will aid in counterterrorism efforts, amber alerts and missing persons cases, along with crime detection and prevention.

The system will be operated and maintained by the New Jersey State Police.

Let's say you could find and LED display that's the same size as a license plate. Then you have a front mounted camera hooked into a RaspberryPi that at a touch of a button, it reads the first plate it can see, then recreates that plate on the display that's where your license plate is. Normally that display would show your regular plate, except when going through plate scanners where it displays the plate of a car near your, or whichever one you choose.

Amazon.....they have everything

[Delkal]

I find it hard to believe they didn't start doing this 20 years ago. Not sure if I believe they didn't have a way to log people going to NY / NJ and track them before this announcement.
