Police have unveiled their new weapon – a camera that can produce clear images of people inside a car almost a mile away and dubbed ‘The Long Ranger’.
Beware: Police now have a super-strength camera which can spot drivers using mobile phones or speeding nearly a mile away

YOu are the criminal, you are guilty until proven innocent psychological warfare used on the masses who aren't able to pick up on it become the victims of their own stupidity they ignore the warnings, ignore the information and it all goes in one ear and out the other.
Knowing more than a little bit about optics and imaging, in order to do what is being claimed would take no less than a telescope, and that is exactly what they show. In this case what most people would consider a very big super-telephoto. No real surprise there, I can see in great detail what people are doing a half mile away with 15X binoculars. Still, their camera will be hard pressed due to vibration, weather, heat waves, reflections off the windshields, etc., not to mention the fact that many phones fit into the hand to be almost invisible. As to speeding, they will have to have markers and computer processing to estimate speed by how long it takes to get from A to B and will be limited to non-parallax conditions where the traffic is at a right angle to the camera.
Basically, it isn't enough anymore to just catch people committing crimes as you see them, now they want to be watching you all the time under every condition because they just know you must be doing SOMETHING illegal! America! The Police State.
So you want your privacy, so you can break the law?
If you don’t like this, don’t drive on public roads.
