Caught on Camera-Florida Car Tags

I instantly thought of the Medina story/thread when I watched this story. The cameras record every license plate that passes beyond the Bob Sikes Bridge toll plaza, but for now they only run data on Florida-based tags. The one person interviewed quipped "...why they think that someone would run from the law would want come to an island".

alas, I think that is compatible with the Fourth Amendment.  Since you're on public land, it's not like people can't already look at your license plate... but the mass-scale automatization is unnerving to me anyway.

Agreed on both counts.  I doubt the founding fathers had the technology of 2+ centuries later in mind when they were not-defining "reasonable search".
