Automated License Plate Readers (ALPRs) are AI-powered cameras that capture and analyze images of all passing vehicles, storing details like your car’s location, date, and time. They also capture your car’s make, model, color, and identifying features such as dents, roof racks, and bumper stickers, often turning these into searchable data points. These cameras collect data on millions of vehicles—regardless of whether the driver is suspected of a crime. While these systems can be useful for tracking stolen cars or wanted individuals, they are mostly used to track the movements of innocent people.

Do they have an option for avoiding them?

I'm surprised Osmand doesn't have a plugin for it yet. I'm currently having to switch between that and the flockme app to track them.

CoMaps had a feature request for it but they still haven't done it

I’m not seeing them, is this platform specific?

Not sure. My Waze for Android shows them. Maybe someone has to report them first?
