The Kentucky Supreme Court upheld the use of license plate readers by law enforcement officers in a unanimous opinion released on Thursday. The issue arose when Kentucky resident Gregory Traft was pulled over by Boone County Deputy Sheriff Adam Schepis after a license plate reader initiated a records check that showed the owner of the truck had an outstanding warrant for failure to appear in court on a misdemeanor charge.
After stopping the vehicle, the deputy reported that he saw indications Traft had been drinking. He failed field sobriety test, admitted drinking too many beers, and a breathalyzer found his blood alcohol level nearly twice the legal limit.
Traft was arrested for DUI as well as the outstanding warrant. Traft maintained the records check resulting from the license plate reader was a violation of the Fourth Amendment, which bans unreasonable searches and seizures, and tried to suppress the traffic stop.
