Officials ask about camera reliability, motorcycle plate capture and interstate limits
Summary
Council members asked Newburgh Heights Mayor Trevor Elkins about system failure rates, motorcycle plate readability, handheld versus automated units, and the restriction on unattended units on Interstate 480.
Committee members sought technical details about how cameras operate and where they may be used. Councilman Lasky asked about failure rates and motorcycle plate capture; Elkins said the failure rate is "very low" and that motorcycle plates are more difficult to read than standard vehicle plates.
Elkins said the program would use both handheld and automated units. He noted that state law prohibits unattended units on Interstate 480, so cameras there would be operated by an officer. Attendees also discussed required signage, calibration, nighttime and winter operation, and concerns about officers being harassed while operating handheld units.
