Who approved this?
Approved by Metro Nashville Council.
Metro council approved a citywide license plate reader ordinance in August 2023 after a 6-month pilot that contributed to 112 arrests and 97 recovered vehicles. The citywide rollout sits on hold while the council debates privacy guardrails, and no cameras run under the approved program in the meantime.
Use suspended
Camera use is suspended. The contract itself has not been reported terminated.
Not yet in the sources: the contract amount, the camera count, and the approval date. Metro Nashville Council holds the approval file, and the records request guide gives the wording to ask for it. If you already hold the document, send it in.
What happens next
Renewals are decided in public. Residents can attend the meeting, speak during public comment, and write to the office above through official channels. The ACLU publishes a model cancellation resolution officials can adapt.
