## Resource

License plate cameras are rolling out across East Baton Rouge Parish, snapping photos of every passing vehicle to aid crime investigations — but residents are raising alarms over privacy. While law enforcement claims strict access controls and no data sales, critics worry about mass tracking and potential misuse. Though legal experts note no privacy expectation for public license plates, the sheer volume of stored location data sparks bigger constitutional questions. With no clear rules on collection or access, lawmakers and courts may soon step in to balance safety and civil liberties — all while cameras keep snapping, quietly documenting every car’s journey.
