Looks like we are going to have a big old facial database. If you are driving on the road with major traffic infractions and/or a suspended licence, these censors  will detect your face and the police will be notified and you will wind up in traffic court.

The Institute for Traffic Safety Management and Research (ITSMR), a research entity affiliated with the State University of New York, will conduct research on the impact the facial recognition program may have on highway safety. Thus far, of the more than 1000 cases of multiple identities uncovered by the facial recognition program, approximately 67 percent of the individuals holding multiple identities have one or more driving suspensions or revocations in place that appear to have been evaded by their having obtained a second license.
