Police License Plate Scanner Video Clips. Duration : 4.13 Mins.
This video was made in Canada. More recently, these systems have begun to see use in the United States to quickly pick out vehicles without insurance, unregistered, reported stolen, involved in crimes, etc... that have been entered into a database. I have disabled comments because the mass majority of people are stupid, and so are their comments.
ALPR surveillance - Car License Tag Spying Tube. Duration : 4.43 Mins.
The Oklahoma Department of Public Safety quietly embarks on an Orwellian mass-surveillance program to catalog the habits of drivers. Amassing permanent databases of citizens on the roads, Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) is being justified as a way to identify uninsured motorists or stolen vehicles, yet the lack of laws governing its abuse could have a chilling effect on privacy and free speech. Besides automated ticketing and revenue collection, Police have also used ALPR as intelligence-gathering tools to spy on groups ranging from gang members to journalists. In one case a policeman seeking revenge against a reporter was caught stalking using an ALPR database in Edmonton, in a police corruption scandal that eventually cost the chief his job.
