ONTARIO PROVINCIAL POLICE (OPP): ALPR SYSTEM

Описание: ALPR: Automatic License Plate Recognition.

http://www.newswire.ca/en/story/12781...

In a nutshell, this very modern (and I guess damn expensive as well) on-board computer system will check for the following convictions stored in the Ontario DOT database:

• plates on vehicles that are registered to suspended drivers
• plates associated with stolen vehicles
• plates reported stolen or missing
• plates with expired validation tags
• plates that have been suspended
• unissued plates reported stolen
• missing stock or spoiled plates never issued

OPP is the only Police Force in Ontario allowed to use such technology, for now of course, therefore IF you fall into any of the categories listed above, just do not use the roads patrolled by OPP and you'll be just fine.

Apparently driving w/o valid auto insurance is NOT part of the ALPR System. Reason: insurance companies are not required by law to update DOT's database on any policy cancellation or termination.

Drive safely and always lawfully.
