LETTER: Use license plate readers in school zones

Why doesn’t the city of Henderson install those license plate readers in school zones (Dec. 7 Review-Journal)?

Every school day, drivers speed through school zones and pay no attention to the flashing lights to slow down. I see drivers slowly pull forward with total disregard for the children or crossing guard in the street because they want to beat the traffic. They will even make a U-turn in the school zone.

The plate readers would also allow the police to see how many drivers have children in their cars not wearing seatbelts. These readers would be a great way to increase revenue for the city of Henderson without having an officer at the actual corner.
