Parking in Waterloo Region

[Coke6pk]

For the record, I see little to no difference between an SUV with automated cameras recording plate numbers and an enforcement agent walking along and recording plate numbers by hand. It's just that the former is massively more efficient.

THIS.

I still work in law enforcement, and I have tons of notebooks and written reports.  Some are in evidence, some are stored in my locker.  All technically belong to my employer (which is dependent on the government of the day).  I have detailed personal information (not just licence plates) that are also being held long term, and no one cares.  But licence plates for 24 hours *is* an issue?

At least with the automated system, non enforcement info will be deleted.  For the old system, non-enforcement info would be in the same paperwork as enforcement stuff, and therefore never destroyed.  [NOTE: before the handheld computers we didn't write down licence plates, so don't start fretting about giant lists of plates down at the by-law office! ]
