the potential benefits are accompanied by a host of
concerns. Privacy advocates worry that this
technology could represent a significant step
towards a surveillance state, where every vehicle on
the road becomes a potential informant. There are
also serious legal questions about the admissibility
of evidence collected without direct police
observation. Moreover, the system's inability to
confirm the identity of the driver – a limitation
shared by current speed camera technology – could
lead to wrongful accusations and legal
complications.</span></p>
