> The system was installed with the express intent of solving and reducing residential burglaries. Can you link to the source of this claim?

  That the linked document largely framed everything in terms of residential burglaries not enough, I suppose? There's also the agenda packet from March, 2021: https://losaltoshillsca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/49/files https://losaltoshillsca.portal.civicclerk.com/event/49/files Further, because of an increase in residential burglaries in 2020, staff was given direction to research current ALPR technology and report back with the steps that would be involved to implement ALPR cameras in the Town. You can also watch the city council meetings from both of these dates (same links) to get more context.

    I don't see how reductions in business burglaries are excluded from consideration or even diminished in importance.

      That's because the Town of Los Altos Hills has effectively banned all businesses within its city limits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Altos_Hills,_California#Strictly_residential https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Altos_Hills,_California#St...

        'Businesses' would also include business vehicles visiting the town, such as FedEx trucks, moving trucks, etc.
