How do you do a warrant for a device that alerts when a car on a hotlist transits an intersection?

Record the plates. Don’t alert, search. And just for a specific crime.
The whole pitch for the cameras is alerting! The point is to interdict the cars right after they pass the camera.
That may be what police like, but in my town it’s sold to residents on solving crimes.
A stolen car is a crime though.
Sure. So file a request with a judge including evidence that the car has been stolen, and a reasonable time window and location.
