Revisiting license plate readers in Nashville

In February, the Metro Nashville Council passed a controversial piece of legislation that would allow law enforcement to use license plate readers as part of a six month pilot program. Some believe that this new technology will help address crime in our city. But others have serious concerns that it poses a threat to privacy and could disproportionately target people of color.

To learn more about about this debate, we hear from community members, a research scientist, a co-sponsor of the legislation and WPLN metro reporter, Ambriehl Crutchfield.

Also in this episode, we're joined by WPLN senior healthcare reporter Blake Farmer to discuss new state legislation that would further limit abortion access and what that could mean if Roe v. Wade is overturned.

Guests:

• WPLN senior healthcare reporter Blake Farmer

• WPLN Metro reporter Ambriehl Crutchfield

• Jennifer Gamble, District 3 council member

• Gina Coleman, founding member of the Haynes Park Neighborhood Association

• Reverend Davie Tucker, Jr., pastor of the Beech Creek Missionary Baptist Church
