Take care to understand your local law regarding automatic license plate recognition. Use of such software and/or data collected with it may be under regulation. IANAL, but see your state statutes here if you live in the US: https://www.ncsl.org/research/telecommunications-and-information-technology/state-statutes-regulating-the-use-of-automated-license-plate-readers-alpr-or-alpr-data.aspx https://www.ncsl.org/research/telecommunications-and-informa...
- joncrane 6y agoI find it interesting that some states are trying to regulate something like this. What if you had a child read off every license plate they see and use voice recognition to record the license plates? Is it illegal in real time, but allowed if you replay your dashcam footage later?
- arcticfox 6y agoThe vast majority of those laws seem to be targeted at law enforcement. I imagine any system designed to automatically collect license plates would be included, whether it's sync or async.
- bobbean 6y agoGood luck having someone do that 24 hours a day, or during rush hour. I assume it's more about bulk collection.
- varispeed 6y agoWhat if you let the child buy drugs? Same thing. Don't let your child do illegal things and better - don't help it. If you hear your child is reciting the number plates, make sure all recording hardware in your car is off before you lecture the kid that what it does is absolutely forbidden.

- jmnicolas 6y agoThe photos I saw seemed to be in Paris, and I'm pretty sure it's illegal to run a license plate reader in France.
- lubesGordi 6y agoThe site makes it sound like it's only illegal for law enforcement to do this.
