The park has had two potable water events which are critical for us as we are a 55+ park and many of our residents are elderly and some in poor health so it is important for us to get repairs done in a timely manner.

But skeptics complain it's another way Big Brother is watching. By Brian M. Rosenthal Seattle Times staff reporter Cregan Newhouse patrols the streets of Seattle, chasing license plates. Mounted atop his Parking Enforcement minivan sit three cameras, capturing every plate he passes and instantly checking them against a database of stolen cars and unpaid tickets. On this cloudy afternoon, he finds just two stolen cars and no chronic parking offenders, a smaller haul than usual. But his work does not go to waste. The thousands of photos are entered into a Seattle Police Department database where, for the three months before they are destroyed, they'll be available for use in criminal investigations. To public officials, it is an innovative and effective multipurpose policing tool. To skeptics, it is yet another way in which Big Brother is watching. Automatic license -plate readers have been in the arsenal of large police departments for nearly a decade, but are now getting new scrutiny amid broader concerns about government surveillance. The SPD is one of many state law- enforcement agencies that use the readers, including several in King County. Even suburban Beaux Arts Village, population 299, is considering them. In Seattle, which piloted the technology in 20o6, public records indicate 12 police units collected about 7 million license -plate records last year, identifying 426 stolen cars and 31768 vehicles with at least four unpaid parking tickets. "This is something that is working," SPD spokesman Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said. "It's technology that makes law enforcement more efficient." http:// seattletimes.comlhtmlllocalnewsl 2021534204 _licenseplatereadersxml.html 8/5/2013 VIolice cameras busy snapping license plates I Local News I The Seattle Times Page 2 of 4 iinin;gulate• des-,tite its increased use.
