LINCOLN, N.H. (AP) - A police department in New Hampshire has become the first in the state to use a new electronic system to scan license plates.
The new units, which are attached to all Lincoln Police Department vehicles, allow officers to scan plates as they drive and cross-reference them with criminal and missing person databases. WMUR-TV reports each device costs about $10,000.
The new system went online for the Lincoln Police Department on Thursday.
