At that point, why bother with the license plate at all?

If you're going to put in a networked device in every car, make it broadcast an ID to the area, like the IFF transponder on a plane. Buy a simple receiver that can pick up all of the IDs in the area, and install it in a police car. What's the point of having it download data, display that data visually, then have a camera or a human enter that into a different device, only to upload it to the the same database? Skip three steps and just have a transponder on the car that broadcasts the info to any scanner in the vicinity. Who needs plates anyway?
