The EDSP compliance with the FBI request in scenario three.
Scenario 3
To address the problem of accidents caused by speeding, the East Dakota State Legislature passes a law authorizing the East Dakota State Police (EDSP) to install video cameras on all its freeway overpasses. The cameras are connected to computers that can reliably detect cars traveling more than five miles per hour above the speed limit. Sophisticated image recognition software enables the system to read license plate numbers and capture high-resolution pictures of vehicle drivers. If the picture of the driver matches the driver's license photo of one of the registered owners of the car, the system issues a speeding ticket to the driver, complete with photo evidence. The new system receives extensive media coverage, and six months after the system is put into operation, the number of people speeding on East Dakota freeways is reduced by 90 percent. The FBI asks the EDSP for real-time access to the information collected by the video cameras. The EDSP complies with this request. Three months later, the FBI uses this information to arrest five members of a terrorist organization.
