NEWARK — Twenty automatic license plate reader cameras with the potential to scan millions of license plates each year will be installed around Newark as soon as next month, with the aim of deterring crime and solving more cases, according to police officials.

However, it’s unclear if the mass surveillance program will actually help police meet those goals, and Councilmember Mike Bucci is taking issue with the plans, saying he is concerned about the broad reach of the technology and the lack of clarity around the policies that govern the use of the data.
