License plate readers won't be used for traffic enforcement in Des Plaines, chief insists
Rather, the images will help police in Des Plaines and other communities fight more significant crimes in which automobiles were used, Chief David Anderson told the city council during its scheduled meeting at city hall. He cited burglaries, robberies and catalytic converter thefts as examples of crimes the cameras could help solve.
Automated license plate reader systems passively scan passing vehicles and record images. The system alerts police when a car suspected of being used in a crime passes a camera, based on manufacturer, model, color, distinguishing features or marks and license plates. Information about cars without plates can be used, too.
" notifies us in real time if that vehicle comes into Des Plaines and passes one of the license-plate reading cameras," Anderson said. Data is kept for 30 days and then purged, Anderson said. It won't be repackaged or sold, he insisted.
