Platescan is a name you are going to hear a lot about shortly. So pay attention. For you techies, Platescan is an OCR for license plates.
Here in California, CHP has installed the Platescan system in several cars in California. What this system does is scan several hundred license plates per hour, right from the two-camera system which is installed in the CHP squadcars. The system then matches the plates to a database of known stolen cars.
If a stolen car is found, a special tone rings out. Says Alex Breitler, reporter for the Record Staff. Excellent article.
Since the State of California requires we pay $1 per registration to combat stolen cars, I vote we spend some of that cash to buy a few more of these units. At $17,000 each, it's a good deal.
