Olmsted County and Rochester have applied for the ‘FY2025 Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant’.
If awarded, the Rochester Police Department intends to use the funds for installing automated license plate readers (ALPR).
ALPRs use AI to capture detailed information about vehicles, including make, model, year, color, and even scratches and dents.
There is controversy surrounding the use of ALPRs, with concerns about potential privacy invasions.
Minnesota State Representative Greg Davids opposes ALPRs, proposing a bill to ban their use in Minnesota due to fears about creating a surveillance state.
