But such conditions would not affect infrared radiation. Last week Commissioner Foote's plan was to install in patrol cars infrared cameras which would snap a picture of the license plate of a car ahead under the worst conditions. By means of a mirror arrangement the patrol car's speedometer will be included in the picture, thus giving a record of the speeder...
