MIAMI – During the past several years, a number of deployments by homeowners associations (HOAs) of a new type of security-camera system called automated license plate readers have made headlines in TV, print and online news outlets across Florida. These ALPR cameras automatically read and record the license plate of all passing vehicles, and they appear to be growing in popularity for communities. Several Florida police departments, including in Coral Gables and Coral Springs, have adopted and deployed these cameras at high-traffic locations, and they use the technology to locate suspects as well as to track and catch unsafe traffic scofflaws.
