City leaders in San Francisco, California, are working to install 400 license plate readers across the area to reduce criminal activity.
Leaders and community groups held a press conference on Wednesday to highlight the technology for which the city received a $15.3 million grant to install, KTVU reported.
Mayor London Breed (D) said, “This does not include speed cameras. This does not include facial recognition, but it will be useful for Amber Alerts. It will help us to find missing persons as well.”

They will use the cameras to fine owners of stolen vehicles for driving infractions committed by the car thieves.
They need the ability to track everyone just in case Trump holds an “insurrection” there.
It also helps them find the cars the thugs stole to use on their crime spree.
They sure steal them pretty frequently.
license plate readers don’t prevent crime, though they can be useful helping to catch criminals after the fact *IF* they;re caught, put in jail with high bonds until trial, convicted, and then given hefty sentences, other these plate readers are just a propaganda tool: “See, we’re doing stuff about crime” ...
What a useless move. Doesn’t work at all with stolen or fictitious plates.
This is what leftist Marxists do....they install automatic ways to extract money from those who are cowed by them into severe obedience meanwhile enjoying the chaos that causes those cowed people to beg them to do more. This ends with our total destruction as the rule of law is near meaningless.
I live in DC. The police here have had license plate readers for years. I had assumed this was now pretty standard in big city police departments around the country, but maybe not.
California is deep in the hole.
They’re looking to shake down the citizen$.
That DEFINITELY is gonna stop the crime. You betcha!
I wonder who has stock in the company, or “knows” the guy that is getting the contract?
