Perched atop the Mt. Lebanon Police Department's traffic enforcement vehicle are two cameras that look like a pair of robot eyes. They're watching passing motorists and parallel parked cars, photographing their license plates then comparing the numbers to a nationwide database of cars connected with crimes and -- in the case of Mt. Lebanon -- a list of local parking scofflaws.
The system is called Automatic License Plate Reader technology, a tool that law enforcement units in the United States have used since 2001. Since then, the largest vendor, PIPS Technology, has furnished more than 400 agencies nationwide with systems.
Mt. Lebanon is the first department in the county and may be the only agency in the state to use the system, which vendor Vigilant Video gave it on a trial basis.
