Lexington Police Disable Nationwide LP Search | Lexington News

Lexington police have shut down the nationwide license plate search feature after community outcry over privacy — but they’re not backing down on crime-fighting tech. Officers once scanned across 2,000+ networks per month; now, they’re listening. The system still aids federal agencies in tracking violent felons like murderers and traffickers — legally, rarely, and with safeguards. No external audits yet, but internal checks are underway, plus strict rules: no officers can make watchlists. Data auto-deletes after 60 days. And they’re eyeing drones and live body cams next for their intelligence hub. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
