In The Netherlands the police photograph the rear side of the car.  This
has something to do with privacy legislation.  Anyway, the driver is
guilty, not the owner, but the owner *must* tell who was in the car.

Another issue:  This equipment can also be installed in cars and used
while *driving* the police car !
