Yea thats right, at least the ones the Sheriffs dept is installing were
free. I assumed it was some sort of SaaS model trying to get them
hooked on it. I really hate to say it but now days police seem to have
very few skills anymore as far as protecting and serving. They rely on
technology like this to do their job and appear to be unable to solve
crimes without somebody ratting somebody else out. Not to mention the
ones who have no business in this line of work who are rude at the
least, to shooting and killing people at the most.

Plate readers have been around for some time. There’s a serious question about
the legality of their use, with a lot of jurisdictions avoiding this by
purchasing the data as a service and not buying the readers outright themselves.
This is right up there with cell site simulators, a.k.a. “dirtboxes” or
Stingray devices (Harris, Corp.) as they’re known in LE circles.
I agree with the, “If you’re not doing anything wrong you shouldn’t worry about
it”, but what worries me is the potential for misuse of the data and what
controls (if any) are in place to protect it? With plate readers the
jurisdictions that have been litigated against have arranged for data to be
deleted after a fixed time, but that’s really not a resolution. I see where the
deal in Tulsa is that data will be deleted after 30 days. I also note that the
cameras are being installed for “free” by the vendor. In other words, they’ll
get the local law enforcement worked up to want these permanently, then they’re
locked in to this vendor.
It’s much like the traffic camera scam - “We'll do this for you, handle all the
backend work, and mail you a check for your 40% of what we take in every month.”

Watching the local news, I see TPD is talking about these new plate readers
they are installing around town that sends an alert to the cops about various
things. Talked about placing them in the high crime areas aka the ghetto. The
other day saw the sheriffs dept was installing some too. Without getting into
a political discussion, I am not sure I really like this idea at all.
