Cops Are Recording License Plates of All Cars That Cross Cape Cod Canal

A New Bedford man charged with drug trafficking is challenging a Superior Court judge's ruling that automatic license plate readers recording all cars that go over the Bourne Bridge and Sagamore Bridge to or from Cape Cod are constitutional.

Jason McCarthy's car was on a Hit List generated by police investigating him in connection with drug dealing, and when they got an alert from the system on February 22, police pulled over McCarthy, eventually leading to his arrest, according to The Cape Cod Times.
