Hi,
I think the software comes from the US, it sounds like the same stuff that John is implementing at the MPD. I suppose you will have to cross Memphis off your places to visit, as well as Australia or possibly just move to Canada. <vbg>
The system just runs off an off the shelf laptop, nothing special.
>>Hi,
>>You are wrong, the current recognition technology can identify all occupants in each car on a six lane highway in realtime, as well as do a registration check, vehicle color check, and make and model of the vechicle, and it runs on a laptop.

>>I saw it tested a few years ago over here, they had to shut it down after a couple of minutes as it had identified a couple of hundred violations and there wasn't sufficient resources present to process the infringments.

>Identified all six occupants in a moving vehicle. Wow. Amazing they could even see all six. Must have and incredible photometric database with some awesome processing power. I know some of the MI-5 folks who process CCTV feeds in London. They'd love to get their hands on something this good.

>But aren't you worried? I mean, that sounds a lot more intrusive than fingerprints. You must be terrified. I don't think I want to go to
>Australia and be subjected to that kind of Big Brother surveillance <s>
