License plate tracking isn’t science fiction — it’s already here. Former police officer and TikTok traffic expert Sean Shapiro joins Shane to uncover the rise of Automatic License Plate Recognition (ALPR) technology and how cities across Canada and beyond are quietly deploying it. From Sudbury’s licence plate signs to U.S.-style “flock” camera systems, we explore the benefits and controversies of this fast-growing surveillance trend. Learn how ALPR helps solve crimes, recover stolen vehicles, and curb dangerous driving — and why privacy advocates are sounding the alarm. Plus: the future of traffic AI, whether slow drivers could be next, and what kind of surveillance might already be in your neighbourhood.
