I was on Fort Worth Texas about a year ago, and was staying at a hotel. Every few nights I saw a car driving around the lots there. It was equipped with 4 scanners on the front of it.
I stopped him one night, he had two laptops running some type of ALPR setup. He closed them pretty quickly.
He went on to tell me he was part of the police. So I asked, are you a police officer? No, he wasn't and never has been. He works for a company based in FW, that has contractors who funnel data to various entities. Used to find repossessions, stolen, and who knows what else.
He told me in so many word to get lost, and call the police to tell them he says hi, then speed off.

- zht 4y agoWho are you to stop someone else on a public street?
- grapescheesee 4y agoIt was not a public street. It was in a private parking lot. The hotel management was also happy to call and make a report with the license plate I provided them.
- jsiepkes 4y agoI don't know how it works in the US but in a lot of countries unless the "private" parking, road, etc is clearly cut off from the public space (with a gate for example) the law largely considers it public space.
- tehwebguy 4y agoYou are inferring the wrong definition of “stop”
- grapescheesee 4y agoThe company is DRN. The YouTube video I wanted to add has been removed.
- devwastaken 4y agoThe guy should have said nothing and drove away. They don't owe you an explanation, only partly so if you're the property owner.
