Is anyone surprised?

I am, as I assumed they already had RT access

I didn't assume real time. That's actually a really demanding technical ask. Have you ever tried to get a video call to work? Do you understand how much bandwidth that is?

Yeah, someone at the FBI doesn't know how the real world works (MildShock.gif) and watched too many movies and crime shows where they "track the bad guy" in real time.

Depends how it's processed. If the OCR is done locally that's a tiny amount to send.

Do you really think the main thing these are used for is license plates?
