CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. (WVIR) - A bill that would have regulated Automatic License Plate Readers in the Commonwealth passed through the General Assembly, but not without a couple amendments from Governor Glenn Youngkin.

Those in Charlottesville may be familiar with the city’s automatic Flock cameras, which police use to track stolen vehicles, missing persons, and homicides.

Legislation in Richmond would have set up specific guardrails, including limits on retention periods and a requirement for further legislation to expand these cameras.
