Well this story is inconsistent..

The Times says:
"The operation scanned 2,190 plates, netted six misdemeanor arrests, 34 traffic tickets and five cleared warrants." (6+5=11)

KTAL says:
"checked over 22-hundred license plates...They did make 11 arrests, and issued 34 tickets."

These reports sound like the same numbers. But here is where someone has it wrong:

The Times says:
"Troop G this week rolled out a mobile plate hunter, a device stuck to an unmarked car that uses tiny cameras to simultaneously scan multiple license plates while traveling streets and parking lots"

Whereas KTAL says:
"All from a helicopter. The high tech chopper can scan plates from both parked and moving cars"

Me thinks someone has their facts a bit messed up.
