[Scan-DC] Interesting piece on News Channel 8

[Andrew Clegg]

Good catch. Here's the link to the written and video versions of the story 
on News Channel 8's site. This is the system that I saw out on I-66. Very 
cool.

Tonight's news had a segment on the VSP roof-mounted cams.
The cams, used to look for confirmed GLAs/stolen vehicles, can scan 1500 
registrations/plates per minute (!), and alert the trooper immediately if a 
hit comes back.. From there, the trooper confirms (via computer) that the 
vehicle is indeed in the database as a GLA.
Ya gotta love technology.
Chalk up one for the good guys !
Tango,
GM
PS -Sorry that I can't provide the link, but my computer is having major 
issues of late.
