Montreal police confirm they use a licence-plate camera as part of a targeted investigation. The system automatically captures licence-plate numbers and other vehicle characteristics when vehicles pass the camera, and the recorded information can later be searched by investigators.
The reports describe the camera as a tool that collects data tied to specific vehicles during a case rather than as general surveillance. They also indicate the police use the recorded records for follow-up work within the investigation, with officers accessing the information after it has been captured.
While both outlets report the confirmation of the camera’s use, the published material available here does not include additional details about the investigation’s subject, timing, or the legal and oversight framework governing the camera’s operation.
