[From The Wired Repo Man - He’s Not ‘As Seen on TV’ - NYTimes.com]

ALPR is moving beyond law enforcement and finding other uses. This article shows how repossession agents are using ALPR to find vehicles that are delinquent. The repo agent drives around until their ALPR finds a car that is delinquent (one rep man uses a ka-ching cash register sound for successful matches). The database of delinquent cars comes from MVTRAC, which has a national database of around 100,000 cars. The article also contains a sidebar on the potential privacy issues.

    Good find. Further evidence that LPR is the most mature and widely adopted of video analytics.
