📰 News we're reading

• St. Louis County orders review of automated license plate readers (spectrumlocalnews.com) — St. Louis County leaders in Clayton are ordering a full review of automated license plate readers on county property to ensure they're used responsibly and with tighter data safeguards. The move follows a statewide executive order and could change how long police keep plate data, how vendors handle it, and how municipalities across the county deploy this surveillance technology.
