Under the "automatic license plate recognition" project, once a car enters Medina, a camera captures its license-plate number. Within seconds, the number is run through a database.

If a hit comes up for a felony ” say, the vehicle was reported stolen or is being driven by a homicide suspect” the information is transmitted instantaneously to police, who can "leap into action," said Police Chief Jeffrey Chen.
