Decatur Police’s License Plate Reader Leads to “Follow” and Arrest
Decatur Metro | September 25, 2013Decaturish has the story this morning on “What was the story behind that orderly procession of police cars following a vehicle that was moving briskly down one of our local roadways?” Here’s the beginning of the story…
Around 10:45 Monday morning, a Decatur Police officer was patrolling the 500 block of Church Street when the officer received an alert from the vehicle’s automatic license plate reader. (Editor’s note: Did you know they have those now? I didn’t.) The license plate reader told the officer that he had just passed a stolen vehicle headed south from his current location, a 2013 Dodge Charger with Indiana plates.
