However, its rapid adoption has outpaced regulatory frameworks, leading to privacy concerns. This qualitative study examines the privacy implications of ALPR deployment through interviews with high-level law enforcement users and policymakers and representatives from Flock Safety, a leading ALPR company. The data highlights the gaps in standardization and oversight by agencies. Initial findings suggest that while ALPR systems are technologically accurate and provide undeniable law enforcement benefits, the absence of clear policies and operating standards has led to questions of potential misuse. The study underscores the need for comprehensive legal frameworks and transparent operational guidelines to balance public safety with civil liberties.
