Is there an easier way to make this statement? So did we kill a legislation that would have blocked Police license plate readers and Flock? Or because the legislation is killed, we can block Police license plate readers and flock?

It also would essentially have blocked all traffic enforcement cameras (red light, speed, bus lane, school bus passing, etc.) too.

"LPR", used 16 times in the article (including the title), stands for "License Plate Recognition"

Okay so it reads: > A recipient of assistance under title 23, United States Code, may not use automated license plate readers for any purpose other than tolling. Okay, I'm glad that's killed. I love the speed cameras near my home. And hopefully the future has every red-light backed by a red-light camera.
