INDIANAPOLIS — When police were looking for murder suspect Chaznee Mockabee last month, they found her with the help of a network of license plate-reading cameras that monitor city streets.
They are a powerful tool for law enforcement in Indiana and across the U.S., but critics have raised alarms over the potential for privacy, misuse and racial inequity. "It does multiply the effectiveness of law enforcement because it gives them the ability that they wouldn't have otherwise to be able to see if vehicles are actually stolen or wanted," said Lt. Shane Foley, a spokesman for the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department.
On June 26, the readers helped police track Mockabee, who was wanted for murder in the Dec. 20, 2021, shooting death of D'Lon Edwards. Nationally, the American Civil Liberties Union has called for stricter laws and policies that will protect privacy and"prevent the government from tracking our movements on a massive scale."
