Police used video cameras to find the guy.  This isn't a study, I'm not sure if you will recognize real world examples or not. You may call it a one time occurrence, but these one time occurrences are happening all the time. The roads need to be monitored. [video]

We got out of WWII by dropping a nuclear bomb. Does that mean we should drop a nuclear bomb in every war? Yes, cases get solved using ALPR, because that's what they are told to use. But many cities employ ALPR and solve LESS cases as a result. One case is meaningless. A case clearance rate dropping is much more important. So, we pay a ton of tax payer money. They violate our privacy. They use it to surveil people based on religion, politics, race, etc. We solve less crimes as a result. I don't understand how anyone can add that up and think it's a good idea.

Ahh...I'm not sure about if the nukes stopped Japan or not. There are many opinions about that. The fire bombing of Tokyo killed more people, but anyway, I do like WWII information. Cameras just sit there and record, its way more expensive to have officers out on the street. Cameras are a smart use of funds. Cameras aren't wasting money, humans are.

Why do you think they are a good use of funds when they are expensive and have provably not done what they are supposed to do? If they actually helped solve more crimes, reduce crime or improve prosecution rates, you might have a case, but that has not happened.  There are cities all over paying out multimillion dollar lawsuits over officers misusing the Flock system and many more are expected. Now, factor in audits. It took one department 8 months to audit just 2 months of data. They had a team of people working full time for 8 months, just to see how bad things were during a 2 month period. The result? A ton of innocent people were pulled over, with guns drawn, often with air support called in, the majority of the plate hits they got were incorrect, crime went up, clearance rates stayed the same and the city was on the hook for $2.5 million in lawsuits. FROM A TWO MONTH PERIOD. They ended their contract immediately.

Camera's are a good use of funds. All the hands in the middle of the cookie jar are bad. Street cops just follow orders, I don't think we need a private corporation in charge of cameras on public roads.
