As a past president of the Northeast chapter of the International Association of Auto Theft Investigators and a retired New York Police Department detective who spent 20 years in the Auto Crime unit, I am firmly opposed to the letter “Ditch photo inspection for vehicle insurance,” May 27. I am also opposed to any legislation in New York state that looks to gut state Regulation 79, specifically removing or relaxing the existing photo inspection requirements.
