- Description
- "The Virginia Beach Police Department’s (VBPD) ALPR system provides information for use by law enforcement personnel to assist in the detection and apprehension of vehicles of specific interest to law enforcement traveling through the jurisdiction of the City of Virginia Beach. The VBPD utilizes fixed and mobile ALPR technologies. The mobile ALPR technology integrates with the Axon Fleet in-car camera system. Not all vehicles equipped with in-car cameras will have ALPR capabilities.... Alerts generated by mobile ALPR will be displayed to the officer operating the ALPR equipped vehicle. An alert alone is not sufficient to establish probable cause for arrest. An alert alone does not necessarily establish reasonable suspicion to conduct a traffic stop."
