  28 vehicles were booted that had over 5,000 in
  outstanding fines.
• Identifying vehicles with owners that have
  outstanding warrants for arrest.
• Automatic look outs for Amber alerts, crimes in
  progress, or terrorist threats.
• Enhancing officer safety by automatically running
  plates of stopped vehicles.

We collected 29,847.51 on 72 vehicles in just
