And this stops carjackings how? The savage knows that if caught (unlikely due to CPDs “no chase” policy), Kimesha will let them go. Plate readers do absolutely nothing but tell us what has already happened, much like the waste of money known as Shotspotter.

How about you stop recording my movements and focus on policing the streets and providing a disincentive for crime by locking criminals up?
