What we do not know
Lewiston Police
- How many plate readers does the city operate, and where do they stand? Six are mapped by volunteers and no document states a number.
- How long are plate reads kept, and who may search them?
- Is there a written policy, and did anyone outside the department review it?
- Is the city's data shared with other agencies or with a regional network?
What license plate readers are
An automated license plate reader photographs every passing vehicle and records the plate, the time and the place. It does not watch suspects. It logs everyone, and the record is usually kept on a vendor’s servers.
