Highway patrol begins testing turnpike scanning system
19 Actiom News | August 10 2004
COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ohio State Highway Patrol has begun testing a license plate scanning system to catch wanted criminals and look for stolen cars.
The Ohio State Highway Patrol will use scanners at two gates on the Ohio Turnpike and in two patrol cars for four months.
The new system uses the same technology as that used in supermarkets to scan product bar codes.
Authorities say if the scanners detect a match, troopers will verify the plate number and confirm the entry is valid before pulling over the vehicle.
Officials with the Ohio State Highway Patrol say the devices don't take pictures or make videotapes and don't create any databases of individuals.
The testing is funded by a $61,000 federal grant.
