Jones Co. Sheriff’s Dept. Track Drivers with Mobile Plate Reader

If you’re driving in Jones County without up-to-date tags and registration, you won’t be driving for long. The Jones County Sheriff’s Office just bought a new mobile tag reader that scans hundreds of tags a minute.

Managing traffic in Jones County is easier these days for Deputy Angel Feliciano. Feliciano operates the newly purchased Mobile Plate Hunter 900. A supped up cop car uses three high speed cameras and a computer database to pinpoint drivers who hit the roads illegally.

“This thing reads well over 1500 to 1800 tags per minute,” said Feliciano.
