Gwinnett Daily Post | Debated license plate readers used throughout county

Ask the American Civil Liberties Union and it’s a big brother problem, another sign that the government is (successfully) trying to track our every move. Ask law enforcement, and they’re a useful tool in cracking cases and keeping unsafe drivers off the streets.

The conversation about license plate readers — automated cameras that take and store images of passing vehicles’ tags, abbreviated as LPRs — has been put into overdrive.
