Big Brother might have just moved a little closer to home in Bowie County. On Oct. 28, the Office of the Texas Attorney General received a request from Bowie County District Attorney Jerry Rochelle, asking the state’s top lawyer to rule on the legality of a plan to roll out a photographic insurance enforcement system.
Rochelle wrote that a company has offered to help the county by using its cameras, computers and training, in conjunction with law enforcement agencies’ automated license plate recognition systems, to identify vehicle owners violating state compulsory insurance laws. The plan calls for the company to identify the violators and then for the DA to send letters alerting violating vehicle owners of their pending fines. The company and the county would then split the collected fees 50-50.
