San Jose says more than 150 automatic license plate readers are coming to communities severely impacted by gun violence.
“They put a fence for pedestrians. So, they wouldn't cross and they wouldn't get run over and I've seen that fence replaced a couple of times already. So, that means that cars are still going over the lane and so forth,” said Mike Miranda, owner of Mimosas Restaurant.
The cameras were installed in April as part of a pilot program police said is working. In fact, just this week, police said they solved an armed robbery and arrested a suspected shooter thanks to the cameras. San Jose is now installing hundreds around the city and the first batch is coming in the next two to three months.
