The San Diego Police Department will approach a City Council committee Wednesday in hopes of moving some of the planned 500 "Smart Streetlights" and paired license plate readers, claiming insufficient infrastructure makes them less impactful. At Wednesday's Public Safety Committee meeting, SDPD will argue that infrastructure issues such as power problems or objects blocking the camera view prevented installations of the technology at 42 locations. The department seeks to redeploy the cameras in "zones" instead of prior approved fixed locations. "During the installation process, SDPD discovered significant infrastructural issues that made installation at the proposed sites unfeasible," a city report on the issue reads. "Additionally, changing conditions, crime statistics, or community concerns may necessitate movement of the technology." According to SDPD, at least 92 stolen vehicles, five firearms, and an estimated total of $1,209,700 worth of property have been recovered as a direct result of ALPR alerts since they began to be installed in December.
