Discuss amongst yourselves:

Clusters of what at first appear to be surveillance cameras have begun turning up in recent months on the Southwest border, and while some of the machines are merely surveillance cameras, others are specialized recognition devices that automatically capture license-plate numbers and the geographic location of everyone who passes by, plus the date and time.

Looks like it's time to install my James Bond revolving license plate.

Fine with me.

Let me know when you find one; maybe we can get a group buy together.

Fine until you get a speeding ticket in the mail. You were photographed going by one camera on a certain date and time and photographed several miles later by another camera. A simple time and distance math calculation flagged your car's average speed over that distance as x miles per hour over the speed limit. With GPS referenced time clocking technology this is indeed possible.

Ain't automation wonderful?

Just makes me want the James Bond license plate even more.

If I was speeding, I deserve it. The last ticket I got, I pulled over and waited for the officer to catch up to me. I was speeding and deserved the ticket. I didn't mean to be speeding, but was.

I figure I have deserved LOTS of tickets over the years and didn't get one. When I do get one, I deserve it.

I think I may be able to recall the last time you were pulled over.

Yes, pulled over, but only warned.......
