License plate reader for the New Canaan Police

The town has been looking at getting licenses plate readers.

The link below is to an article on the readers and the ACLU.

“ACLU research suggests there is often little to show for all that data collection. For example, the state of Maryland told the ACLU it collected 85 million plates in 2012. Of those, only 1 in 500 resulted in a "hit," and 97 percent of those hits were minor violations such as failure to comply with emissions testing rules. Only 47 were associated with what the ACLU identified as potentially serious crimes.”

Therefore out of 85 million plates 47 were associated with what the ACLU identified as potentially serious crimes.

Additionally, how could a criminal who hacked into the database use the information use it? What if they falsified the data?

I do not think the town of New Canaan should spend any money on a license plate reader.
