You may not know it, but a photo of your license plate already may be in the Police Department's image database.
For about three years, an officer in one Fremont police patrol car has been riding around the city snapping images of license plates and downloading associated information into a massive database that one day may help police solve a major crime, police say.
While it has yet to play a role in such a case, the program still is considered a success, police say. That's because the main purpose for using the $20,000 technology — made by PlateScan Inc. of Newport Beach — is to help police recover stolen vehicles.
To date, more than 75 stolen vehicles have been recovered, some of which might have gone undetected if the city weren't using the PlateScan program, Lt. Mark Riggs said.
