La Mesa Police Department officers already have the technology to read your license plates in their squad cars. Now they want to add additional readers on.
The day the El Cajon Police Department turned on dozens of cameras that scan the license plates of passing vehicles, the new system started getting hits.
Last month, the agency installed license plate readers across the city. A police department in Texas has access to the data. The El Cajon department doesn't agree with critics who say that violates a California law.
