God, I can just see the wet dreams of an advertising exec now. If an australian bloke can replicate million dollar systems with $100, the advertising companies can surely wank out the money for license plate readers a quarter mile ahead of their billboard with good identification. The new electronic billboards already switch what ad they’re showing every half minute or so now, and I bet they could do what ze big boiz do with the auctioning of ads.

I think right now most of the US doesn’t allow random API access to license plate and registration data, but I really have no idea… How much do you think companies would bribe pay for some laws to be changed about that?
