Just seen the ARGUS unit in action in Cannington. WAPOL had a few cars pulled over from it, as you drove past the bus, you could hear the radio/ARGUS operator telling who to pull over.

Isn't that the camera that recognizes number plates and runs them up automatically?

Automatic Number Plate Recognition

The implementation of ANPR units occurred inlate 2004. The WA Police Service presently hastwo units for enforcement. As referred topreviously, one unit has been placed with theâ€˜Booze Busâ€™ operations and is in continuous useand the other unit is allocated to districts forspecial operations. ANPR equipment units have been named â€˜Argusâ€™ for operational use.

Google is your friend. This was the second search result from the search I performed. If you want to know why it was named, I think some more searching is required...
