Prof. McGeveran Speaks on MPR on Privacy and License Plate Scanners

Professor William McGeveran, an expert in privacy and digital technology, was a guest for an "In Depth" segment of Minnesota Public Radio's Daily Circuit program discussing the privacy implications of license plate scanners used by law enforcement. The automated scanners record the license plate number of every passing car along with time and location, and store this data indefinitely. A recent American Civil Liberties Union report about the technology called for stronger regulation.
