Huntsville group leads week of events advocating against license plate recognition cameras

Huntsville 50501 is joining Deflock’s National Week of Action Against ALPRs. They are hosting several events the week of Aug. 16.

ALPR, or Automatic License Plate Recognition, cameras are high-speed, computer-controlled camera systems typically mounted on street poles that automatically log license plate numbers of the cars captured in the footage. They include the photograph, location, date and time the car passed the camera. Sometimes there is footage of passengers.
