Initially, ALPR was designed in the United Kingdom as a way to respond to and prevent\u00a0terrorism (Gaumont &amp; Babineau, 2008; Roberts &amp; Casanova, 2012). More recently, ALPR has\u00a0become popular among police forces for its ability to detect threats to public safety, including those\u00a0posed by traffic violators and prolific offenders. Using ALPR technology, police can identify drivers\u00a0who, for instance, have outstanding warrants, are prohibited from driving, are driving uninsured\u00a0vehicles, are driving a stolen vehicle, are speeding, or are driving a vehicle that is wanted by the police because of its connection to some type of criminal activity.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<iframe src=\"\/\/docs.google.com\/viewer?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcjr.ufv.ca%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F08%2FSurrey-RCMP-Automated-Licence-Plate-Recognition-Report.pdf&hl=en_US&embedded=true\" class=\"gde-frame\" style=\"width:100%; height:500px; border: none;\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\n<p class=\"gde-text\"><a href=\"http:\/\/cjr.ufv.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/Surrey-RCMP-Automated-Licence-Plate-Recognition-Report.pdf\" class=\"gde-link\">Download (PDF, Unknown)<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Automated License Plate Recognition (ALPR) or Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)1, as\u00a0it is better known outside of North America, is a echnological system that uses cameras to scan and\u00a0capture alphanumerical images of vehicle license plates that, for law enforcement purposes, can be\u00a0compared against a number of police databases to identify vehicles and persons of interest &#8230; <a title=\"An Assessment of Surrey RCMP\u2019S Use of Automatic License Plate Recognition Technology\" class=\"read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/2015\/08\/11\/an-assesment-of-surrey-rcmps-use-of-automatic-license-plate-recognition-technology\/\" aria-label=\"More on An Assessment of Surrey RCMP\u2019S Use of Automatic License Plate Recognition Technology\">Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":174,"featured_media":2204,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"generate_page_header":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-police"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/174"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2219"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/cpscjr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
