(Radio Iowa) – Coralville city council members are looking to reconsider the city’s contract for automated license plate readers after getting a letter from the Attorney General’s office. The A-G’s letter says certain parts of the city’s policy prohibiting the readers from being used for immigration enforcement purposes don’t comply with state and federal laws. Council member Mike Knudson says he supports revisiting the city’s contract for the cameras after seeing the extent of federal immigration enforcement efforts since the council approved its policy last September.

“At that time last fall I had no idea how far it would go. I would say it’s gone, far exceeded, maybe my worst thoughts about how far it would go with that, in terms of shooting people in the streets,” Knudson says. Knudson is referencing the shootings in Minneapolis.

The Attorney General’s office sent the letter to the city after receiving a complaint about the policy not complying with state and federal laws.
