- dylan604 4y agoThe art in that article really is unimpressive. No pics of the cameras, no details of the screen used to ID, no pics of anything at all that is interesting and enhances the article. Just shows that even 8 years ago web journalism sucked
- bobthepanda 4y agoCBS is a television station, so I would assume this is a transcript of a TV segment (how most TV stations post online content)
- dylan604 4y agoi'd be shocked if the video segment was any better. however, where's the video segment?
- bobthepanda 4y agoThe article is 8 years old. I feel like multimedia players come and go (unlike the stability of say the <img> element), so it’s entirely probable that the site looked different 8 years ago, and a migration or few later the video content was lost.

- kevin_thibedeau 4y agoNYPD does this with their marked cars too (standard patrol cars with ALPR rig attached fore and aft). Ostensibly it's the meter maids expediting detection of parking violations but the data obviously has other uses.
