License plate readers are cutting crime

‘Worth the investment’: Alabama authorities say license plate readers are cutting crime

Snippet of Article: "Instead of an Officer or a K-9 sniffing it out, license plate readers are doing the work. ...The heat gets turned up with the help of 33 Flock Safety, license plate readers, or LPRs, stationed all around...If that tag is already connected to a crime in the FBI National Crime Information Center database, a real-time alert is sent out to area law enforcement. ...“Case law overwhelmingly shows that LPRs do not constitute a warrantless search because they take point-in-time photos of cars in public and cannot continuously track the movements of any individual,” said Paris Lewbel, Flock Safety Public Relations Manager."
