- noodlesUK 2y agoYes, they can, however I don't believe this is quite as straightforward as just looking up the data for a particular vehicle on your police computer. Looking up the ANPR data on a vehicle is only marginally more complex than looking up a person's driving license details or similar. My understanding is that in order to do a reverse geofence request, or look up a specific device, it's a lot more complicated, and these days you're only going to get cell site information rather than precise GPS data (as was possible by asking Google in the past).
- mmh0000 2y agoWell... not entirely true. Cell Providers will sell data to anyone, then companies like Tectonix GEO[1] will slap a pretty UI on top of that data.
