Chicago Expressway Surveillance and License Plate Readers
The Illinois State Police completed the first phase of a project installing 99 license plate reader cameras on Chicago expressways. While officials claim the cameras are intended to solve shootings and carjackings, critics view them as a tool for mass surveillance. An additional 200 cameras are planned for the coming year, funded by a $12.5 million grant.
