1944 January and February, C. F. Cobon, “The County of London Plan”, in Railway Magazine, page 24:The L.C.C.

2023 February 13, Chad Marlow & Jay Stanley, “How to Pump the Brakes on Your Police Department’s Use of Flock’s Mass Surveillance License Plate Readers”, in ACLU[1], archived from the original on 3 April 2025:We don’t find every use of ALPRs objectionable. For example, we do not generally object to using them to check license plates against lists of stolen cars, for AMBER Alerts, or for toll collection, provided they are deployed and used fairly and subject to proper checks and balances, such as ensuring devices are not disproportionately deployed in low-income communities and communities of color, and that the “hot lists” they are run against are legitimate and up to date.
