Deputies use ‘eyes on the road’

License plate recognition camera helped police identify vehicle used in murder

Few drivers may be aware that there are cameras in place in town that routinely use license plate recognition software to scan plates, providing information to police in a moments notice if a vehicle is suspected of being involved in a crime.

Hays County Sheriff’s deputies recently arrested a person who was later charged in connection to a murder after using the Flock Safety License Plate Recognition system.
