Just to clarify - this does NOT read your license plate from outer space. Such a level of technology isn't even officially admitted by the Americans.
It does use GPS, a platform which is admittedly in outer space - but the system (presumably) couples it with existing nationwide CCTV networks and some fancyschmancy Google-Earth esque algorythmic database magic.
Why put things in terms of a technology familiar and indeed, comfortable, to most people when you can have a headline such as 'New speed cameras trap motorists from space', implying that we live in an age of omnipresent government awareness?
Sodding media.
