Dallas PD cruiser in front of me yesterday. What are those things on the trunk? There were 2 on the left and 1 on the right.

Thanks! If I’d realized what they were I would have smiled for the birdie.

I remember reading an article some years ago that LPR cars were being operated in California by LE that were funded by an Indian reservation with casino money.

ALPR is so last decade. Flock is where it's at.
