Plate Reader Helps Cops on the Road

by Greg JohnstonPublished Jan 12, 2007

The Livingston County Sheriff's department now has a new tool to assist them on the road: a license plate reader. It’s all thanks to the division of Criminal Justice.
The instrument consists of two cameras mounted to the top of a patrol car and software loaded into a laptop computer.
As the deputy drives down the road, the system automatically recognizes license plates and compares them against a list of stolen or suspended plates on the laptop.
Typically, a deputy has to manually enter a license plate number to check the status of it.
The city of Rochester received a license plate reader back in 2005.
