Saw it on a cruiser yesterday

New radar device, camera, or both?

License plate scanner/reader.

I’m thinking both, probably grabs plate numbers

Plate scanner, but I’ve only ever seen them on the trunk.

As the others have said, it’s an automatic license plate scanner, not a radar. Specifically from Vigilant Solutions.

It’s a License Plate Scanner. Commonly used for parking enforcement/boot patrol

I used to live by one of the large malls of the area. The local PD by the mall drives through the rows of cars looking for expired registrations and other things they can ticket people for.

I consider that a gross misuse of power, up there with local cops running radar on state highways.
