Thanks. I think the Feds already have technology that allows them to get anything they want. I don't, and even if I did, I wouldn't use it. I'm working on another program that I hope to have up and running in a few weeks. We are putting LPR (License Plate Reader) cameras on some cars, and also fixing them to about 100 locations around Memphis. For the cars, I'll have a VFP app that will fire a timer every second, pull newly captured car tags, then run them against a stolen vehicle table, our local motor vehicle table, then against things like parolees, sex offenders, known burglars, warrants, gangsters, etc. We will also detect if the tags are expired, the driver is driving on a revoked license, etc. This is going to be fun....
