WOODBRIDGE, Va. — Automatic License Plate Readers are once again about to be the center of a debate in Richmond.

The readers, or ALPRs, are mounted to the rear of police cars and are equipped with high-speed cameras that capture license plates. Those photos are then processed by a computer, and the letters and numbers on the license plates are then cross-checked on a list of vehicles that have been reported stolen. If the ALPR returns a hit on a stolen car, the police officer can then pursue the driver and then could make an arrest.
