Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) 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, <a href="https://www.flocksafety.com/products/license-plate-readers#:~:text=No%20Plate%3F%20No%20Problem" target="_blank">often turning these into searchable data points</a>. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

<p class="px-6">
ALPRs are a serious risk to your privacy and civil liberties. These systems continuously record people's movements without a warrant, probable cause, or even reasonable suspicion. Your driving history is rarely confined to the town or city where the cameras are installed. It's typically shared with <router-link to="/what-is-an-alpr#faq-transparency">thousands of other agencies nationwide (secretly)</router-link>. Once the data is out of your community, you have no control over how it's used or what rules apply.
