Why do they need a law giving them permission when they already have one?
The state says you're required to have a valid plate on the vehicle.
Why you're on the highway is your business.

Another bull**** government overreach program for those who want more
government. After they scan your plate, the next step of course is to check
your speed and issue computer generated tickets.

Any time you have an agency, the agency will try to survive and grow. There
is no end to the excuses they will use to justify any hair brained scheme.

This looks like they have more people than tasks, and need people cut,
instead of creating work.

What's wrong with computer generated speeding tickets?
Speeders are a serious danger to the public.

they want to scan your plate so they can check for warrants,check for
cancelled plates/cancelled insurance,expired driver's license,etc.

Then there's the now-in-testing-stage mileage-based road tax.
They will be interrogating a transponder in your car connected to a black
box GPS system to measure mileage for road tax purposes. you can already
see the scanning antennas mounted on poles at many busy intersections.
Right now,they scan the EZ-pass toll transponders,allegedly to measure
traffic flow and "count cars" passing that point...
your license plate may eventually contain an RFID transponder for scanning
purposes.

most "speeding" is done where it matters little. It's done more for revenue
collection than safety enforcement.

Worse,because police concentrate on speed traps,they aren't catching RL
runners,improper lane changers,left-lane bandits,tailgaters,all the stuff
that REALLY causes "accidents" or screws up traffic flow.

Lol. Speeding occurs everywhere there's a road and a vehicle.

I'd have to agree it matters little to the speeding motorist and their
cohorts...

Most crashes are the fault of motorists in compliance with traffic
code? I did not know that.

Sure they are, they're just catching them speeding instead.

I think mobile car crushers should be implemented for tailgaters. Or
allow the use of RPG's in self-defense.

Of course, since radar guns, VASCAR, LIDAR, etc. produce a hard number
rather than a subjective judgement, it makes it easier to get
convictions, which raises revenue for the police and their governmental
body (what traffic enforcement in the US is mostly about).

When they invent tech that makes it possible to prevent anyone from stealing my
space, I'll stop tailgating. Until then, live with it.

They give the appearance of a hard number, but it is quite easy for the cop with
the radar gun in his hand to get whatever results he wants (or misread the ones
he gets) simply by aiming it wrong.

At any rate, both speeding and tailgating are victimless crimes. Until an actual
crash takes place, no one has done wrong unless he violates right-of-way. The
law will be rightly scoffed at by everyone until it adjusts to accept this fact.
