You are brilliant, and clearly very edjumacated.

Not so easy if the cameras were pointed at something else…

Yes, because the angles are so tight, and the lighting at 3am is bright, that they police should have no problem pulling the license plate from a 1-inch blob on a computer screen.

Ever hear of the CSI-effect?

I can see the headlines now: “State Patrol looking for a vehicle that is smaller than a schoolbus, but larger than a bicycle. The vehicle color could be black, dark gray, light gray, dark silver, light silver, blue, green, purple, or any other color lighter than white.”

Actually not a lifetime loser, marine veteran, good job, own my own home clean criminal record. Never said didn’t want police. I think state police departments need competition. As it stands now the state has control of protection services, essentially a monoply. Police get away with assaults, theft, extortion even murder and have no conequences because 1. there is no civilian oversight into the police they investigate eachother when they commit crimes and are almost always cleared of wrong doing, even the CIA and the military has civilian oversight. Police policing police is ridiculous and stupid. 2. They have a monoply on protection services so they can treat the people anyway they want because know one will step in and fire them or take their place. Perfect example, a town called Foley recently fired their police department because of rampant misconduct by their officers (common theme), in turn they hired a private protection agency to handle their policing duties in town Its working much better and the misconduct has gone away, want to know why? Because this protection agency knows that if they get out of control and think they are above the law they to will lose their jobs! This is not the only town that has done this its becoming a common trend in America because the hardworking citizens such as myself are tired seeing the abuse. So sorry Joanie, nice try.
