(arstechnica) San Jose, California, America’s 10th largest city, isn’t just content to put license plate readers on police cars anymore—rather, it now wants to deputize garbage trucks to be an additional tool in its ongoing surveillance. According to the San Jose Mercury News, the mayor and one city councilman put forward a new proposal Wednesday that would allow sanitation vehicles to use the scanning devices and feed the data automatically to city police. “We can cover every street at least once a week and possibly deter thieves from coming into our city,” Councilman Johnny Khamis told the paper. If passed, the city would likely become the first in the country to expand the law enforcement tool to another public entity besides parking enforcement. Currently, only six San Jose Police Department cars currently have license plate readers (LPRs), but there are plans to acquire two more to cover this city of over one million people.
