* Daily Herald…
After an eruption of violence in 2021, expressway shootings dropped by nearly 40% in 2022, Illinois State Police data shows.
Reports of highway gunplay, almost all in Chicago and the suburbs, surged to 310 in 2021, sparking outrage and prompting installation of cameras that capture license plates.
Total occurrences in 2022 declined to 189, which is still higher than the 2020 tally of 147 shootings. As of Sunday, one shooting had occurred in the new year. […]
Of the 189 reported shootings, four were fatal and 74 resulted in injuries.
Still too high. And no word on whether the cameras led to an increase of arrests.

Or if patrols have increased. I’ve seen more of an ISP presence on south-side I-94, but I haven’t seen an increase of enforcement of reckless driving.

My thought is, the policy doesn’t necessarily have to lead to arrests to stop shootings. The belief you will get caught bc of LPRs is the probable driver of reductions. CWB blog has numerous instances of villains being tracked down via LPRs. Any convictions would necessarily be ata later date.

Expressway shootings down, in spite of the Illinois Rifle Association.
