The camera would be set up close to the windshield of the "ghost" car, and could photograph through the glass of the windshield, getting the license plate of a car in front or of a vehicle coming In the oppo site direction. Flashlight equipment would be synchronized on headlights at the front of the police car to take pic tures at dusk. If headlight on the offending car were so bright the ordinary flashlight bulb could not pierce them after dark, an Infra red screen would come Into play, There would then be no flash to divert the driver.
