“Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs or LPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. These systems are marketed as indispensable tools to fight crime, …creating a loophole that doesn’t require a warrant. DEFLOCK. I completely understand why criminals wouldn’t like ALPR’s!
“A common question about license plate reader technology is simple: what do the cameras actually capture? The short answer is that Flock cameras are designed to focus on vehicles in public view. They help identify vehicle details that may assist in investigations, such as a license plate, make, model, color, and other visible characteristics like bike racks, trailers, or toolboxes. Just as important, Flock cameras are designed to capture what is already visible from public roads” FLOCK. As long as that is all they are used for! Will see…
And that is all I’m going to say abut that!
