License-plate-reading cameras are coming to the city of El Cajon. It's part of a one-year pilot program the El Cajon City Council approved last week. 'Technology is great, but how is it used? How do I know who's using it? How do I know the people using it are using it properly?' resident Larry Nicoletti asked. These are just some of the questions El Cajon residents have about the program. 'You would be capturing images of the back of the vehicle. Specifically, what's the vehicle type, color … that type of information,' said a spokesperson with Flock System, the company that makes and operated the camera system.
