If you visit Kings Point, big brother will be watching.
The affluent community is hoping to prevent crime by going high-tech — by setting up a sophisticated network to screen every vehicle that goes in or out of town.
Kings Point is one of the wealthiest villages on the North Shore, and residents want to keep it that way with the latest security.
“I think it’s great,” one resident told CBS 2’s John Slattery.
To protect its 3.3 square miles, Kings Point plans to install 44 cameras and license plate readers at each of the 19 points of entry. The devices will take pictures of every vehicle and license plate and compare them to data bases.
“It will alert us to suspended registrations, felonies, stolen cars, order of protection, sex offenders, things like that,” Kings Point Police Commissioner Jack Miller said.
