The Dark Side of Public Safety: When Vigilantes Meet ALPRs The recent vandalism of automatic license plate readers (ALPRs) in Tennessee, as documented by "Guardrail Guy" Steve Eimers, highlights a disturbing trend.
When public safety advocates like Eimers confront issues on American roads, they're met with escalating hostility and even violence.
Eimers' advocacy for safer guardrails and crashworthiness has been widely praised, but his attempts to expose potential flaws in ALPRs have sparked a firestorm of comments urging him to destroy the cameras.
