Does anyone know more about these devices? Some are obviously cameras, but the others are likely some radio scanning, potentially BLE, but I don't know. Anyone know?

I have no proof, but I suspect some of them will identify your car by your ezpass.

Did a search, and yup. You're carrying a tracking device, of course they are going to use it to track you
