If you live in a major city, then you have likely heard of license plate reader blocker. These cameras have been placed at various intersections throughout the city and have caused quite a stir. The reason these cameras have been in the news so much is that they have the ability to track a person and their driving habits. This has led to public outcry as well as the development of some interesting tools that can help the general public. This blog will look at the various ways in which the general public can fight back against these license plate readers and their capabilities.
A license plate reader (LPR) is a device that automatically identifies vehicles by their license plate number and records the date, time and location of the vehicle and those plates can then be checked against police records.
License plate readers are used to monitor and record vehicle locations as they pass by cameras. While the aggregated data collected by the readers can be used for a number of purposes, such as traffic analysis or inventory of parking spaces, the primary purpose of license plate readers is to identify the number of vehicles.
