    New York Town's Police Use License Plate Scanners, Hi-Tech Gizmos

    Every vehicle entering Centre Island on the North Shore of Nassau County gets its license plate automatically scanned and checked by sophisticated computers. The stationary license plate camera is only part of the Centre Island Police Department's advanced technology. The officers' cars are also high tech: Volvos equipped with night-vision binoculars and digital cameras. They also carry Tasers and high-powered guns.
