I would like to know as well, if only since if it’s done in the US, it won’t be too long until we get it over here.

I mean, this obviously looks like some kind of mobile general suspicion surveillance system, but what’s the official story?

The official story is that it's mobile general surveillance to deter crime.

They're very open that it's a surveillance system that watches everyone and records everything.

They're a little less open about how open they are with police or exactly how much they can correlate everything with other data. Most people don't have an intuitive feel for how easy it is to piece together a lot about their lives from some small measurements when tied to everyone else's, so they just stop at being annoyed by the lights and sometimes fucking commercials.
