I doubt if they have enough people to chase that they can't process the plate pictures manually.
One such toll booth picture is a major piece of (not very useful) evidence in a local (probable) murder case ...

Wife of a dentist in Lower Merion Township went missing. A vehicle belonging either to her or to her husband passed through a toll booth on the Penna. Turnpike (I believe at old exit 28 - Philadelphia). The SUV was found abandoned in a McDonald's parking lot.

The toll booth photo shows what appears to be a female slumped toward the window on the passenger side of the vehicle. The driver cannot be seen.

To this day she has not been found.
