Lexington Mayor Linda Gorton is asking the Urban County Council to expand the number of license plate reading cameras. The city currently has 25 cameras in areas listed as high crime. That has been part of a pilot program. The mayor is seeking approval to position another 75 cameras along Lexington streets, bringing the total to 100 cameras. Police Chief Lawrence Weathers said they would be set up all over town.
“It’s gonna be all over the City I would think. Just putting them in one area is not going to help us. I think putting them all over the City in different places, different access points, would serve our purpose better,” said Weathers.
