Mundelein police cameras to automatically scan license plates | |
November 02, 2013 Mundelein police are buying a new piece of sophisticated but controversial equipment. The automated license plate recognition system scans auto tags and runs the images through local, state and federal databases. "It really does improve our efficiency," Mundelein Police Chief Eric Guenther said. But, "we find the existence of (these databases) to be very ominous," an ACLU rep says.
