What technology exist that most people don't know about and would probably blow their mind?

ALPR cameras. Most people are probably aware that a lot of police cars have automatic plate-reading cameras, but they don't realize just how much information they collect. Every single license plate that is seen by the cameras, whether the car is moving or not, is stored in a database with its time and GPS coordinates. ALPR cameras.

Every single license plate that is seen by the cameras, whether the car is moving or not, is stored in a database with its time and GPS coordinates. Then you can look up every instance of when a particular plate was seen by any ALPR camera in the system, on a Google Maps type interface with a moveable time window. Over time you can build up a really comprehensive view of an individual's movements.
