Kaukauna Ditches License Plate Cameras | Green Bay News

Kaukauna, Wisconsin, has shut down its license plate reading cameras after three years, citing growing privacy concerns — not police misconduct — as the driving force behind the decision. This move echoes similar debates across the region, fueled by a recent misconduct case in Menasha.
