Introduction

Automatic license-plate recognition (ALPR) is a technology that uses character recognition on images to read vehicle registration plates to create vehicle location data. In reality, it can use existing CCTV or cameras specifically designed for the task. ALPR is used by police forces around the world for law enforcement purposes, including to check if a vehicle is registered or licensed.

 

In the context of LS-RP, this does not use CCTV or any stationary cameras, but is only enabled for police cars. This must be turned on manually and license plates must be added manually. In addition, players will be required to write a report for the vehicle in question so that the reasoning for each car being added is well-documented and can be referenced.

 


Feature

This feature encourages the use of rental cars or cars without license plates to commit your crimes as it is increasingly more difficult to escape using a vehicle that you own, leading to more roleplay around garages and factions that offer out "license plate removal" services.

 

The actual license plate recognition will work for any car within 20m of the ALPR-enabled car, meaning if you know your car is related to a recent crime, you should stay away from police vehicles.

 

Note that when a 'BOLO' (Be On the Look Out) is made for your vehicle, this does not save over server restarts, and there is a limit of 30 vehicles that can be put on the database. This is to ensure that not every single wanted car is forever being tracked, and puts your mind at ease that law enforcement will "forget" about your car after a while unless you remind them.

 

The ALPR system is integrated into the MDC system, and so you need to be on duty and in a police car to access the BOLO database. Once in the MDC, you can add a vehicle, its license plate, its color and model, its charges and a report. Once done, any police vehicle with ALPR enabled (i.e. through the use of /togalpr) will automatically ping your license plate if you get too close.

 

Officers will have an ALPR log, so if they're distracted when it pings, they can refer back to the log to see who they've pinged recently. Note that this does not tell you when or where - all you know is it happened in the last 60 seconds. You can double click each entry in the ALPR log and it will open the MDC page for that vehicle.

 


Commands

  • /togalpr

Enable or disable the ALPR system for your car.

  • /alprlog

Check the last 10 license plates that have been pinged within the last 60 seconds.

  • /mutealpr

Mutes the three beeps upon ALPR ping.
