Oh sweet summer child. New York City has tons of ALPRs and cameras of all kinds, but it also has an epidemic of unsolved hit and runs, unlicensed drivers and a police force where a large proportion of cops will deface and mangle the license plates of personal and municipal vehicles to evade law enforcement.
