The island's city council recently voted to install two license plate cameras on the Lazaretto Creek Bridge.
The Savannah Morning News ( http://bit.ly/1dF5c1I ) reports that the cameras will first be used to track visitors to the coastal island for tourism studies. The council required that city officials create a policy about how the data are used and stored before law enforcement officials can use the system.
City Manager Diane Schleicher said the system could notify police when it detects a license plate from a stolen vehicle, a car that lacks insurance or a vehicle whose owner is wanted on an arrest warrant.
The council approved nearly $29,000 for the system.
