The city's license plate reader pilot program has ended. What now?

from This Is Nashville · host WPLN News - Nashville Public Radio

As discussed previously on this show, license plate readers have been a controversial technology for law enforcement. Some see them as a crucial tool for tracking crime. Others see them as another facet of over-policing that is ripe for abuse. A six-month pilot program ended last month, and Metro Council recently voted to put off voting on further use of LPRs, in order to give themselves more time to review data compiled by the Community Oversight Board. What's in the COB’s report? What are the community’s concerns about LPRs? And why do other community members and law enforcement want them? Guests: Dylan Depriest, data analyst for the Metro Nashville Community Oversight Board Mark Wynn, former police officer and Metro Nashville Community Oversight Board member Reverend Davie Tucker, Jr., pastor of Beech Creek Missionary Baptist Church Luis Mata, policy coordinator for the Tennessee Immigrant and Refugee Rights Coalition This episode was produced by Rose Gilbert.
