License plate readers tabled again by Minot City Council
Minot’s city council is once again weighing public safety against personal privacy. A proposal to adopt license plate reader technology—pitched as a tool to locate missing persons and assist short-staffed officers—stirred strong concerns about government overreach. While supporters call it a smart solution in a stretched department, critics warn of creeping surveillance. With a divided vote likely, the council tabled the decision until after the upcoming mayoral election—leaving the future of the proposal, and the balance between liberty and security, still unsettled. Jill Schramm with Minot Daily News has the full story. Watch the debate below.
