ANPR in San Francisco for Outstanding Parking Tickets

From San Francisco Chronicle:

San Francisco has outfitted a car with ANPR to scan more than 250 plates an hour. It looks for cars with at least five outstanding tickets and stolen cars. The technology costs $92,000 for one car. I don't understand why its so expensive. But the price is being paid by ACS Inc. (they hold the ticket-processing contract with the city). Its a test run right now. I would wager that ANPR will be widely used in San Francisco for these purposes, but it seems a bit expensive right now.

This application has been discussed here previously. Boston and New Haven for using ANPR for collecting on outstanding parking tickets.
