Scan your plate as it passes the cruiser. In 1/100 of a second it has already pulled the plate and checked to see if it is stolen, wrong plate, APB'd by any police force (including out of state). I am also suspect that it checks to see if the vehicle has insurance and if the owner has any unpaid tickets or warrants. In just 3 days they arrested 74 people.
Update:
Here is the local news story on It and yes according to the story warrants and insurance are checked also.

Ya, our department has had a couple of those cars for a while now. It can scan cars going the opposite direction as well, It gets a full 360* around. Pretty cool technology. officers just have to worry about driving and the computer just pulls all the information.
