Electronic Frontier FoundationLicense plate readers clock the time and location of your vehicle, which can reveal sensitive information about your life. EFF is tracking police use of this technology. To learn whether your city is using ALPR, visit https://atlasofsurveillance.org.
Experiencer (Mastodon)@eff ANPR is used a ton here if I'm not wrong, I've seen TV shows where they can track a vehicles direction (which contains a 'fugitive') in real time
Rosanita@eff Local news out here just had a feel good story about how they’re great for solving crimes.

Doug Grinbergs@eff Colorado State Parks pass available at significant discount w/car registration (IIRC $29 vs. $80 retail) but no windshield sticker for proof. (Registration paper has small logo as proof.) License plate scanning, integration with registration database in the works.
Rick Mycroft@eff I wonder how resistant they are to false reads? That is, park a screen in its view, then display a series of computer generated license plates.
Kneworldodor@eff this guy has some interesting articles. Search his name and ALPR. He been writing articles about it in Canada for almost 20 years.
Danie van der Merwe@eff I can understand using it for finding a currently sought vehicle, but if its not a match, the data should be erased within a day to protect innocent citizens.
TransitBiker@eff polarized plate covers?
Bigger Insights@eff The Village of Indian Hill, Ohio (near Cincinnati) has deployed Flock cameras. Pretty frustrating.
