Don't the chop shop locations show up at the hub of stolen car paths when the ALPR data is used retrospectively for cars reported as stolen?

- JohnFen 3y agoI believe that the very first thing professional car thieves do is to remove the car's license plates.
- jandrese 3y agoI imagine chop shop owners would destroy all nearby license plate cameras when setting up their location.
- brewdad 3y agoThat would still narrow down the search quite a bit. Unless you think the cops won't notice a 10 block area where all the cameras are broken.
- jandrese 3y agoYes, but that only matters if the cops are willing to search the buildings on all of those blocks for crimes. All the criminals need to do is prevent them from narrowing it down to an area that could be searchable.
- saagarjha 3y agoOk, and that would definitely not show up as suspicious?
- olyjohn 3y agoALPRs are usually on regular cars, which have regular people driving them around. You don't see them and they're paid to drive around all day. They're contracted like Uber. Cop cars also have them, and so do parking enforcement, etc. They're generally not fixed locations.
