The Steuben County Legislature is looking at the possibility of buying 63 cameras and placing them around roads countywide, to monitor traffic and potential flooding situations. Officials would like to have cameras on the three interstates: 86, 99 and 390. The county would also like cameras in other areas that are well travelled areas and have frequent accidents and flashing flooding. Steuben County Sheriff Jim Allard says this technology is very advanced. According to the sheriff, if law enforcement is looking at a video of a vehicle, and are unable to see the license plate, they can type in the make/model of the vehicle and the license plate number will come up in less than one minute.
