Why is the technology of ALPR so important in the investigation of robbery cases?

What will be an ideal response?


ALPR can be of great assistance in identifying a stolen vehicle that might be serving as a getaway car. According to Molnar (2007), "As the system reads a license plate, it compares the plate to the database. If it makes a hit, it alerts the operator. The addition of a separate color camera allows the capture of vehicle description, make, model, color, damage, unique characteristics, etc. to the database. In other words, ALPR can provide a complete picture of the vehicle, not just the plate.". If police could check every license plate within the containment circle to see whether it was on a stolen car, and then accumulate that information, they might identify serial robbers.
