IRVINE, Calif. -- Irvine police located and pulled over a Mercedes-Benz sedan that was possibly involved in a series of vehicle burglaries -- and unexpectedly discovered a spy-type device that flipped the license plate.
A man and a woman were arrested in the case, suspected of using the car that authorities described as"something out of a 007 movie." The Irvine Police Department on Wednesday released a video clip that shows how the license-plate flipper on the white 2003 Mercedes C300 operates -- at the push of a button.
"Having it be sophisticated in that way, I've never seen that," police Sgt. Karie Davies told ABC7."The license-plate flipping device, that's a new one. In 19 years I've never seen that used in this way." According to a statement, police were investigating multiple cases in which a vehicle without a license plate was driven into parking structures to commit crimes. Before the Mercedes was found, it was unclear whether the plate was missing or concealed.

East Cleveland works to reduce police chases with license plate reader systemEast Cleveland is now in the midst of using a license plate reader system in an effort to reduce crime and hopefully reduce the need for potentially hazardous police chases. So cops shouldn’t pursue fleeing vehicles and they shouldn’t have technology to obtain the license plate of the fleeing vehicle. Just say you want criminals to run free in your shithole city. You’ve acted like it for decades anyway. “The law stops the police from stopping people for minor offenses, for example, people are stopped because they have one headlight out,” If someone is fleeing police, it’s not just because their headlight is out. BLM_216 wrote an open letter to the Grant Provider axon_us questioning their ethics providing these to ECPD. ECPD has a history of civil rights violations and the Cleveland_NAACP requested DOJ investigate the Department in March. Can they be trusted to use them lawfully?
