As the gate attendants are unarmed and have no policing powers per Florida CDD regulations, maybe they will frown at the vehicles that show up as bad on the computer. However, it might be hard for them to do anything but smile and wave people on as that is what they have been doing for the ages. The gates that are not manned would have an Arnold Schwarzenegger voice saying something like “Please wait for the police to arrive to help you”

Another thought brings up the idea of doing something like the Florida pay turnpikes. One lane would be for residents whose license plate is recognized as being a residence something like a Sun Pass and the other would be for vendor recognized vehicles and others who have to pay. This might take some time to set up legally.

Finally and since this is a happy place, license plate recognition could be used to play the most popular state collage fight song as one passes through the gate. Ohio tags would of course trigger the playing of the Ohio State fight song. Then again, too much noise might not be popular to those close to gates.

So, I am stumped as to the purpose of spending this much money and will have to wait until next Wednesday to maybe be told the real story.

If Fast food drive throughs can charge your order to Easy Pass (used to have it before moving here), shoud be able to read SunPass and see if person is legal. And get rid of the Red Buttons.

People, stopping running thru gates, ours has to be frequently repaired.
