“Judges in Kentucky have no problem with police randomly scanning the license plates of motorists who are not suspected of any crime. The state Court of Appeals last week upheld the conviction of Timothy Gentry who was stopped on October 3, 2009 because a Lexington police officer conducted what he said was a random license plate scan. The court also dismissed Gentry’s complaint that Officer Newman acted arbitrarily because the Lexington Police Department had no official policy guidelines to limit random information checks.”
