They can also use that equipment to capture pics of driver as they pass oncoming traffic. The cameras also have infrared capability (to work in the dark). Much easier to catch and convict drinking while driving and seatbelt violations.

The license plate reader returns not only the registration of the license plate but also whether it is expired. The computer can also be queried about the status of the registered owner's driver's license. Failure to maintain auto insurance can result in suspension of your driver's license.
In some states, but not in Florida, it will also report if the owner holds a concealed weapons license.
