The surveillance cameras are the center of a national debate. States across the country have raised concerns about privacy and abuses of the surveillance system.
Our partners at WSB-TV in Atlanta reported Monday that a student's new car was flagged by license plate readers twice in two days. Renee Jones says Atlanta police told her daughter the cameras flagged her for an insurance issue.

The family says they plan to fight the ticket in court. They would like to see increased alignment when a mistake could be recognized.
