Nashville, Tenn. (WKRN) – Electronic eyes are scanning the streets of several communities across Middle Tennessee.
License plate recognition (LPR) cameras watch tens of thousands of cars passing by on any given day largely without incident, but in Hendersonville, Mt. Juliet, Brentwood and Belle Meade, they’re helping police catch criminals.
These cameras are also used by private investigators with ties to the police department to track individuals.
Insurance companies suspected that physical therapy providers were cheating them by billing for patients that had been in accidents without actually seeing the patients, as part of an insurance scam ring. They hired a PI who ran the plates of the patients’ vehicles through the system. In a particular case the license plate readers showed the patients’ cars on the block of the physical therapy location 2 times a week as it should have been. In other facilities actually involved in the scam, there was no evidence that those claimed to have been treated ever went to the facility.
They will also catch anybody and everybody high enough on a right wing, Christian, patriot, list to be added to the scanner, pick up list. Commie(spicy)Times are here if Trump doesn't trump the black hats. Keep yer head on a swivel.
If you are on a road and the digital road signs are telling you how many minutes to the next exit, they are reading license plates and calculating the speed individual cars are moving on the highway.
Anyone remember the red light camera scams? No-bid contracts, kickbacks, out of state video watchers writing out the traffic tickets. No wonder a lot of those cameras got shot out late at night.

I think OR and maybe WA use your cell phones, thoughts that what they told us, but I could be wrong. Minor detail, spying is spying.
DeleteIn Texas, we outlawed those speed cameras about 2 years ago.
ReplyDeleteThing about "automatic " systems is they are fast but dumb. A smear of mud over a single number and the system comes back as no match.
