    Sounds like MO did a copycat of what Florida did at the Punta Gorda coops. Both exit ramps NB/SB nearest the coops have WIMs and a camera that snaps your front plate, and side snap of you USDOT/MC numbers and puts this info on a website accessable incar of FDOT bears. They can and will come after a suspect truck they believe is dodging

    I could see it if they were using it that way. However, they are using it to actually weigh the trucks. A friend lives in the area and has never seen a squad car there in the area.

    Behind Winston's back the voice from the telescreen was still babbling away about pig-iron and the overfulfilment of the Ninth Three-Year Plan. The telescreen received and transmitted simultaneously. Any sound that Winston made, above the level of a very low whisper, would be picked up by it, moreover, so long as he remained within the field of vision which the metal plaque commanded, he could be seen as well as heard. There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized.

    I came by it one day and the roof was just laying on top of the walls on the ground. I could not see that it had been struck or the building would have been more spread out.

    It did not look like a demolition because it was kind of neat and it was whole to some degree.

    Makes you wonder how the guy felt about it across the highway.
