OKLAHOMA CITY – A state lawmaker is speaking out against a proposal to use cameras to catch motorist who drive without insurance.

The Department of Public Safety is considering putting up 200 cameras on roadways throughout the state to crack down on drivers without insurance. The cameras would randomly scan the bar code on car tags. If the car comes back uninsured, the driver would be mailed a ticket.

The system would be an upgrade to the state’s electronic insurance verification system.
