Who’s watching who?: License plate readers used throughout San Mateo County

San Mateo police Officer Shandon Murphy shows how the department’s vehicle-mounted license plate reader scans and sends data to the Northern California Regional Intelligence Center.

San Mateo County Sherriff Department arrested a San Francisco woman on Saturday after finding her driving a stolen rental car during a traffic stop.

Deputies responded to an Automated License Plate Reader notification at about 2:53 p.m. that indicated a stolen vehicle passed it traveling southbound on El Camino Real in Millbrae, Calif., according to a Saturday press release. They located the vehicle while it made a left turn onto eastbound East Millbrae Avenue from El Camino Real and followed the vehicle to North Rollins Road before initiating a traffic stop.
