Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR)
« on: December 13, 2006, 10:10:41 AM »
This system (ALPR) is currently in use in British Columbia by law enforcement authorities.  This is a very interesting video.  Good reason not to mess with the little bar codes on your license plates.  One can imagine various other applications to be developed out of this technology.

You are correct Rjob...

Kinda scary.  This is one of those, "it's a good thing, but when does it quit being a good thing?"  Too many possibilities for someone to take it one step further....legal or illegal.

similar technology is used here in the states in some places..there is a device that can be mounted on a police car that will scan all plates it sees...run them against listings of steals and wanteds and alert the cop.... i wish i had one...

I would imagine it's a pricy thing that not every police department could budget for.  One would think that the insurance companies could pony up some of that collected premium monies to give to the PD's in the high-theft/crime coverage areas.  It would be in their best interest.  A lot of vehicles/bikes are never accounted for because of theft...maybe if a few stolens are found before being chopped up could pay for the devices and get a few bad boys off the streets while they are at it as a bonus.

....just my .02

Similar studies underway at DHS with a scanner intended for exiting and entering vehicles at border crossings.  Will supply all the current NCIC data as well as a complete criminal history on the registered owner.  It's supposed to increase the numbers of secondary inspections greatly.

Interesting, the guy (obviously a cop?), is driving around w/o a seatbelt in a jurisdiction where it's mandatory!

Same here. I think it's a standard practice most places. Not easy getting out car chasing bad guys, or getting trapped in your car trying to get seat belt off when someone is shooting at you. [smiley=nervous.gif] :(

I like that system!  I would be happy to donate some cash to local LE to have one purchased and used....     then again, the local hippy regime would probably call it a violation of privacy, and outlaw it's use....

germany try to use something like this

Last time I was in Germany with a dealer group we had a guy that got 7 tickets from the cameras.  By the end of the trip he was waving at them when he knew they would get his picture.

His first one was leaving Ingolstadt when we picked up our Audi A6's ;D
