NY State Police Testing New Gadget That Scanes Plates

    0

    New York State Police are testing a gadget called a license plate scanner that checks almost every plate near it, telling the trooper if the plate is suspended, expired or reported stolen.
    So instead of a trooper “running” your plate by calling it in, the scanner is like a thousand eyes, a thousand call-ins, a thousand checked plates – all with two cameras and a computer.
    NY State police have been using the Mobile Plate Hunter 900, as the system is called, for about a month with mostly good results, 13 of them are being tested around the state.
    Headquarters in Albany are pleased with the scanners, which cost between $18,000 and $19,000 each, That comes out to about $234,000 to $247,000 total.
