Vegas police are big users of license plate readers. Public has little input because it’s a gift. - The Nevada Independent

The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department quietly entered an agreement in 2023 with Flock Security, an automated license plate reader company that uses cameras to collect vehicle information and cross-reference it with police databases. Unlike many of the other police departments around the country that use the cameras in their police work, Metro funds the project with donor money funneled into a private foundation.
