Google national ANPR [country]
- ExoticPearTree 7d agoThere is a difference between ANPR and what Flock does.
- bko 7d agoWhich is... I like how you're so nuanced when I'm pretty sure you never heard the acronym ANPR before
- ExoticPearTree 7d agoYou are right.
- fmobus 7d agoApples to oranges. Sure, there are ANPR systems in other countries, but they have to operate under very different regulations, and cannot collect information haphazardly like Flock. Using your exact suggested query for Germany will quickly tell you that mass retention of ANPR data is illegal, and only matching against "targeted suspect databases" is acceptable. Even usages of the technology in private areas have to comply with data protection rules.
- bko 7d agoThat's funny because ANPR systems are much looser in other countries including much longer retention. It helps that you don't have national newspapers printing negative articles around the technology every day!
