You too can be a Virginia State Trooper:
You get a cool vehicle assigned to you (only the Virginian ones at the beginning).
You get to dodge cars (btw, this offense has changed to a citation rather than a misdemeanor).
You get a tazer, which you can use to take pictures of a rabid fox.
And, you'll get the new plate reader which will allow you to read the plate of every single car you pass to see if it is legit.
Personally, I think a device like that will keep the troopers from being able to drive down any street in Virginia. Every time they get in their cars, they will drive ten feet and the device will ping on someone with a suspended license. After handling that, they will drive ten feet and the device will ping on someone who hasn't renewed his registration in time. After handling that, they will drive ten feet and the device will ping on someone with a suspended license. et cetera, &cetera, etc. . . .
