Engineer Builds Flock-Style ALPR Camera That Only Tracks Police Plates

Canadian software engineer and YouTuber Anthony Sistilli built a homemade automatic license plate reader that flags only police cruisers, using a 4K camera and an AI assistant to write the code. He tested the prototype on his car's dashboard, after which two local police officers visited his home to question his "intentions."

• Sistilli built the ALPR from a 4K camera and an AI coding assistant
• The system reads plates only after confirming a vehicle is a police car
• He had to lower video resolution to fix lag in the prototype
• Two police officers visited his home to ask about his "intentions"
