The City of Grand Rapids is investigating a new system that would automate parking enforcement for drivers with permits or who pay for parking with their smartphone.
But some — including the American Civil Liberties Union — worry about one more agency watching and collecting data on citizens.
The Grand Rapids Parking Services Department wants to buy an automated license plate reader system to help enforce the rules for thousands of drivers with parking permits and those who use the Parkmobile smartphone app. There would be no change for those who still put coins in the meter — that would still be monitored the old-fashioned way.
