One World Government Liscence Plates

[Rasmus]

Actually, Tippit, it's more likely that they're trying to standarize the fact, say, if you're on vacation in France, get in a crash, or get a ticket, they can still collect from you in the US.

Just how may people do you think would travel from the US to France in their own car?

No, considering that OCR software is cheap, easy to use, and everywhere.

You have obviously never used OCR Software. If they are using that to read plates, I'm surprised if less than 10-15% of the tickets ended up going to the wrong people. Humans are far better at reading than computers.

If they're paying a human to match toll violations to drivers, then it's a waste of taxpayer money.

from the wiki article:

One of the biggest challenges with ALPR technology in the US is the accuracy of the Optical Character Recognition (OCR)—the actual identification of the characters on the license plate. Many variables affect OCR accuracy, starting with the fact that each state has at least twelve license plate designs that must be recognized by the ALPR system. Also, the shape of the characters, color of the plates and whether the characters are raised or flat can affect accuracy. Many times the letter D is mistaken for a Q or an O and some colors, especially reddish tones, are hard to read

So, where does the North American Union fit into all this?

Just above the Panama Canal.

from the wiki article:

Yes. I can quote the wiki too:

Concerns about these systems have centered on privacy fears of government tracking citizens' movements and media reports of misidentification and high error rates. However, as they have developed, the systems have become much more accurate and reliable.

Measuring ANPR system performance

It is not uncommon to read claims of Automatic Number Plate Recognition read rates in excess of 98%. The experience of system operators is that overall read rates for licence plates are 90% to 94% in ideal conditions with excellent modern systems. In some older systems overall performance rates are rumoured to be between 60% and 80%. ANPR is a developing technology which is coming of age and functional applications are expanding on a steady basis. Although there has been a significant improvement in recent years in the performance of ANPR systems, There has been little on how operators can assess and monitor ANPR/LPR systems. [42]

It seems the reliability of ANPR depends highly on which generation of the technology is in use. A 2% margin of error seems too costly to me, considering the time I had to spend dealing with the false accusation by the Bay Area Toll Authority. If 2% of the traffic that passes over the Golden Gate bridge is misidentified, perhaps they should rethink their policy of mailing out automated citations.

2%? That would appear to be the manufacturer's claim, the article says operator's are finding 90-94% (which I have to admit is a huge improvement since I last looked into it.) That means that the error rate could be as high as 10%. Hence a good idea to make sure a person is in the loop. I have no idea how much time you spent, but sending back a letter saying "Please recheck this as I wasn't in SF and can prove it is required" wouldn't have taken that long I would have thought. I do know of people who have faced much worse cause a comnputer decided they were the ones wanted, check out the link above about the guy with "NO PLATE"

Is it true that starting a few years ago, there began appearing One World Government liscence plates:

Like these, they were and are optional of course. But the fact that there even ARE such liscence plates has me wondering, is there a plan actively in motion to produce a one world government?

Judging by the flag decal details, this is clearly a zianist plot.
