Almargen installs number plate cameras to improve safety

The cameras have been active since April and will serve to detect and record the number plates of all the vehicles that enter and leave Almargen.

The registration plates are automatically filed in a database at a new office located in headquarters of the Local Police. The images captured by the cameras are stored in a computer and, in compliance with the current data protection law, are automatically deleted after a few months.

The council stressed that the police are the “only authorised personnel” to have access to view and process these recordings, which, they say, “will undoubtedly create a precedent that will soon be seen it in more locations”.
