I wonder about this and all other surveillance cameras. Can they really take a picture good enough to identify the perpetrator? Maybe with the "advances" in HD, we'll see cams with 1080p. "See the pores of sweat on the criminal's face!"

They claim this is based on a military version. Back in 1986, the military was fielding DTV units that could read the bumper numbers off tanks at 12km (about 7.5mi) that were light enough to go into aircraft. Since then, the technology has only gotten better. The images from some of the UAVs we are getting now is absolutely insane.
