Resident urges council to research privacy risks of license-plate readers after school-zone speed change
Summary
A resident applauded reducing the school-zone speed limit to 25 mph and asked the council to research privacy and invasiveness concerns related to a previously proposed license-plate reader, saying the systems can capture plates, speeds and potentially images of occupants.
At the March 2 meeting, resident Solea Kabakov told the council she supported changing the school-zone speed limit from 35 mph to 25 mph and asked the council to conduct additional research on a previously proposed license-plate reader.
In the transcript Kabakov said of the camera systems: "They scan license plates and vehicle speed. They may capture images of vehicle occupants. Potential privacy concerns and invasiveness." She asked the council to study the devices further before deciding whether to deploy one in the community.
The minutes record her request for more research; the council did not record a response or decision on the proposal during this meeting.
