Automatic license plate readers are cameras that are placed by local law enforcement agencies.

They capture a photo or video of a vehicle and its license plate.

That photo and video along with the vehicle’s location, make and model, as well as the date and time the image was taken is uploaded to a database.

The State Crime Commission will meet again in December to discuss potential regulations.
