ALPR (Automatic License Plate Reader) is a technology used to automatically scan, capture, and interpret vehicle license plates using cameras and specialized software. These systems are widely deployed by law enforcement, parking management, and toll collection agencies to identify vehicles, track movements, and enforce regulations. ALPRs can process thousands of plates per minute and often compare captured data against databases of stolen or wanted vehicles. While ALPR enhances security and operational efficiency, it also raises privacy concerns, as it can be used to monitor individuals’ movements over time. Proper data handling and legal oversight are essential to address these issues.
