I-Team: Texas Firm Tracking Your Car With License Plate Cameras « CBS Dallas / Fort Worth: Chances are better than 50-50 that the Fort Worth firm Digital Recognition Network (DRN) at some point has taken a picture of your vehicle’s license plate. The odds increase to nearly 100-percent if you live in a major city or have ever gone to a shopping mall, according to the company.

In the past six years, DRN has accumulated a network of more than 1,000 license plate readers located across the country. Often thought of as just a tool for law enforcement to track down stolen vehicles, DRN is using automatic license plate readers to revolutionize the re-possession industry.

At a rate of up to 60 reads a second, the high-tech license plate readers can scan parking lots and neighborhood streets for wanted vehicles.
